We present stable solutions of low-frequency electromagnetic problems involving small objects and their dense discretizations with respect to wavelength. Recently developed potential integral equations (PIEs), which are based on the boundary conditions for the magnetic vector potential and the electric scalar potential, are used to formulate complex problems. A multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) based on scaled plane waves for stable computations of short-distance interactions is further employed to achieve fast iterative solutions. The accuracy and stability of the developed PIE-MLFMA implementation are demonstrated on complex subwavelength structures.

Rigorous solutions of large-scale dielectric problems with the parallel multilevel fast multipole algorithm Ergül, Özgür Salih (2011-08-20) We present fast and accurate solutions of large-scale electromagnetics problems involving three-dimensional homogeneous dielectric objects. Problems are formulated rigorously with the electric and magnetic current combined-field integral equation (JMCFIE) and solved iteratively with the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). In order to solve large-scale problems, MLFMA is parallelized efficiently on distributed-memory architectures using the hierarchical partitioning strategy. Efficiency and accuracy...
Accuracy of Sources and Near-Zone Fields When Using Potential Integral Equations at Low Frequencies Gur, Ugur Meric; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2017-01-01) We consider method-of-moments solutions of the recently developed potential integral equations (PIEs) for low-frequency electromagnetic problems involving perfectly conducting objects. The electric current density, electric charge density, and near-zone fields calculated by using PIEs are investigated at low frequencies, in contrast to those obtained via the conventional electric-field integral equation (EFIE). We show that: 1) the charge density can accurately be found by using EFIE despite the very poor a...
Accurate and Efficient Solutions of Densely Discretized Closed Conductors Using a Combined Potential-Field Formulation Karaova, Gokhan; Eris, Ozgur; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2021-01-01) We present an accurate, efficient, and stable formulation for rigorous analyses of electromagnetic problems involving closed conductors. The formulation, namely the combined potential-field formulation (CPFF), is constructed from the conventional potential integral equations and the magnetic-field integral equation, together with an additional integral equation using the boundary condition for the normal component of the magnetic vector potential. Being both low-frequency-stable and resonance-free, CPFF is ...
Comparison of Integral-Equation Formulations for the Fast and Accurate Solution of Scattering Problems Involving Dielectric Objects with the Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm Ergül, Özgür Salih (2009-01-01) We consider fast and accurate solutions of scattering problems involving increasingly large dielectric objects formulated by surface integral equations. We compare various formulations when the objects are discretized with Rao-Wilton-Glisson functions, and the resulting matrix equations are solved iteratively by employing the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). For large problems, we show that a combined-field formulation, namely, the electric and magnetic current combined-field integral equation (...
Linear-linear basis functions for MLFMA solutions of magnetic-field and combined-field integral equations Ergül, Özgür Salih (2007-04-01) We present the linear-linear (LL) basis functions to improve the accuracy of the magnetic-field integral equation (MFIE) and the combined-field integral equation (CFIE) for three-dimensional electromagnetic scattering problems involving closed conductors. We consider the solutions of relatively large scattering problems by employing the multilevel fast multipole algorithm. Accuracy problems of MFIE and CFIE arising from their implementations with the conventional Rao-Wilton-Glisson (RWG) basis functions can...
