Note on transformation to general curvilinear coordinates for Maxwell's curl equations (Is the magnetic field vector axial?)

Optics 2007-07-25 v2 Computational Physics

Abstract

Arguments for H and B to be considered `axial', or pseudo vectors, are revisited. As a point against, we examine the complex-coordinate method for numerical grid truncation and mode loss analysis proved very successful in computational electrodynamics. This method is not compatible with convention that H and B are axial.
