Since 2000, there has been a growing interest in the study of negative
index metamaterials across many disciplinaries. In this talk, I'll first derive
the Maxwell's equations resulting from negative index metamaterials. Then I'll discuss some time-domain mixed finite elements developed for solving these equations, followed by succinct error estimate. Finally, some numerical
results will be presented.
