Applying Oblique Coordinates in the Method of Lines

Abstract
Oblique coordinates are introduced into the method of lines. For the purpose of analysis, suitable equations are derived. The formulas are applied to compute the transmission in a waveguide device consisting of straight waveguides connected by a tilted one. Furthermore, the band structure of a hexagonal photonic bandgap structure was computed using these oblique coordinates.
