The Hilbert space representation of the TLM method for time-domain computation of electromagnetic fields and the algebraic computation of the discrete Green's function are investigated. The complete field state is represented by a Hilbert space vector. The space and time evolution of the field state vector is governed by operator equations in Hilbert space. The discrete Green's functions may be represented by a Neumann series in space- and time-shift operators. The Hilbert space representation allows the description of the geometric structures by projection operators, too. The system of difference equations governing the time evolution of the electromagnetic field in configuration space is derived from the operator equation for the field state vector in the Hilbert space.     «
