Low-Frequency Fast Multipole Method Based on Multiple-Precision Arithmetic

2014-01-01
We present a low-frequency fast multipole method for the solution of three-dimensional electromagnetic problems involving small objects and their dense discretizations with respect to wavelength. The diagonalization of the Green's function is stabilized using a multiple-precision arithmetic (MPA) for accurate and efficient computations of subwavelength interactions. MPA provides a direct remedy for the low-frequency breakdown of the standard diagonalization based on plane waves, and it enables straightforward implementations for low-frequency problems.

A recently introduced potential integral equations for stable analysis of low-frequency problems involving dense discretizations with respect to wavelength are solved by using the fast multipole method (FMM). Two different implementations of FMM based on multipoles and an approximate diagonalization employing scaled plane waves are developed and used for rigorous solutions of low-frequency problems.

© 2021 IEEE.We present a full-wave electromagnetic solver for analyzing multiscale scattering problems with highly nonuniform discretizations. The developed solver employs an elegant combination of potential integral equations (PIEs) with the magnetic-field integral equation (MFIE) to improve the iterative convergence properties of matrix equations obtained via method of moments, especially derived from highly nonuniform discretizations for which PIEs suffer from ill conditioning. A mixed-form multilevel fa...

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 (...

We present the stabilization of the surface integral equationsfor accurate solutions of scattering problems involvinglow-contrast dielectric objects. Unlike volume formulations,conventional surface formulations fail to provide accurateresults for the scatteredfields when the contrast of theobject is small. Therefore, surface formulations are requiredto be stabilized by extracting the nonradiating parts of theequivalent currents. In addition to previous strategies forthe stabilization, we introduce a n...
