We consider accurate full-wave solutions of plasmonic problems using the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). Metallic structures at optical frequencies are modeled by using the Lorentz-Drude model, formulated with surface integral equations, and analyzed iteratively via MLFMA. Among alternative choices, the electric and magnetic current combined-field integral equation (JMCFIE) and the combined tangential formulation (CTF), which are popular integral-equation formulations for penetrable objects, are discretized with the conventional Rao-Wilton-Glisson functions and used to model plasmonic structures. We discuss electromagnetic interactions in plasmonic media and show how far-field interactions may be omitted for improving the efficiency without sacrificing the accuracy of results.

Effects of using different boundary conditions and computational domain dimensions on modeling and simulations of periodic metamaterial arrays in microwave frequencies Turkmen, Oznur; EKMEKÇİ, Evren; Sayan, Gönül (Wiley, 2013-07-01) This article aims to demonstrate the effects of using different boundary conditions and different computational volume dimensions in numerical simulations of periodic metamaterial arrays. A double band metamaterial unit cell design will be utilized to show that use of different boundary conditions may result in simulation of dissimilar periodic array topologies with completely different electromagnetic responses. It will also be shown that dimensions of the computational volume may strongly affect the overa...
Monte Carlo analysis of ridged waveguides with transformation media Ozgun, Ozlem; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (Wiley, 2013-07-01) A computational model is presented for Monte Carlo simulation of waveguides with ridges, by combining the principles of transformation electromagnetics and the finite methods (such as finite element or finite difference methods). The principle idea is to place a transformation medium around the ridge structure, so that a single and easy-to-generate mesh can be used for each realization of the Monte Carlo simulation. Hence, this approach leads to less computational resources. The technique is validated by me...
Transformation-based metamaterials to eliminate the staircasing error in the finite difference time domain method Ozgun, Ozlem; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (Wiley, 2012-07-01) A coordinate transformation technique is introduced for the finite difference time domain method to alleviate the effects of errors introduced by the staircasing approximation of curved geometries that do not conform to a Cartesian grid. An anisotropic metamaterial region, which is adapted to the Cartesian grid and designed by the coordinate transformation technique, is constructed around the curved boundary of the object, and the region occupied between the curved boundary and the inner boundary of the ani...
Solutions of large integral-equation problems with preconditioned MLFMA Ergül, Özgür Salih; Unal, Alper; Gurel, Levent (2007-10-12) We report the solution of the largest integral-equation problems in computational electromagnetics. We consider matrix equations obtained from the discretization of the integral-equation formulations that are solved iteratively by employing parallel multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). With the efficient parallelization of MLFMA, scattering and radiation problems with millions of unknowns are easily solved on relatively inexpensive computational platforms. For the iterative solutions of the matrix e...
Fusion of Image Segmentations under Markov Random Fields Karadag, Ozge Oztimur; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2014-08-28) In this study, a fast and efficient consensus segmentation method is proposed which fuses a set of baseline segmentation maps under an unsupervised Markov Random Fields (MRF) framework. The degree of consensus among the segmentation maps are estimated as the relative frequency of co-occurrences among the adjacent segments. Then, these relative frequencies are used to construct the energy function of an unsupervised MRF model. It is well-known that MRF framework is commonly used for formulating the spatial r...
