Abstract
Computer simulation of linear wave propagation has applications in areas including ultrasonic testing, seismology and electromagnetic scattering. Realistic problems, often involving complicated multi-dimensional geometries, require large amounts of computing resources, and so it is essential to use the most efficient schemes available.
