Because the analysis of the time domain integral equations of electromagnetics is complicated and cannot easily take into account all sources of error in any given implementation, judgements of stability tend to rest on experience. While such an approach eliminates the worst methods immediately, subtle implementation issues may affect the stability of more promising approaches. In this work, we examine the effects of integration rules on stability. Numerical results demonstrate that increasing accuracy does not always increase stability.
