The stability analysis of a numerical time-domain method plays a crucial role in well understanding the numerical behavior of the algorithm. The stability analysis should therefore be investigated in all senses. In this work, a new look at the stability analysis of the Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method is given. A novel link is constructed between the numerical-dispersion analysis and the stability analysis by using the sampled values of the unit space and time steps. Unification of these two analyses therefore becomes possible. The stability criterion is extracted in a simple way, and the amplification factor is formulated. The theoretical findings are tested via a numerical experiment. Some open problems in this area are also discussed.

Implicit monolithic parallel solution algorithm for seismic analysis of dam-reservoir systems Özmen, Semih; Kurç, Özgür; Department of Civil Engineering (2016) This research mainly focuses on developing a computationally scalable and efficient solution algorithm that can handle linear dynamic analysis of dam-reservoir interaction problem. Lagrangian fluid finite elements are utilized and compressibility and viscosity of the fluid are taken into consideration during the reservoir modeling. In order to provide computational scalability and efficiency, domain decomposition methods implemented with parallel computing approaches such as Finite Element Tearing and Inter...
Extraneous roots and kinematic analysis of spatial mechanisms and robots Soylu, Reşit (1997-10-01) A systematic algorithm, for the complete position analysis of ''any'' single loop spatial mechanism, is introduced. The method yields four non-linear equations, with the least possible total degree. These equations are transformed into algebraic ones, which may be solved, analytically, based upon the concept of resultants. The solutions are free from extraneous roots, since such roots are identified and extracted by the proposed techniques. An algorithm, for the efficient position analysis of mechanisms wit...
Cooperative terrain based navigation and coverage identification using consensus Kasebzadeh, Parinaz; Fritsche, Carsten; Özkan, Emre; Gunnarsson, Fredrik; Gustafsson, Fredrik ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.; 2015-07-06) This paper presents a distributed online method for joint state and parameter estimation in a Jump Markov NonLinear System based on a distributed recursive Expectation Maximization algorithm. State inference is enabled via the use of Rao-Blackwellized Particle Filter and, for the parameter estimation, the E-step is performed independently at each sensor with the calculation of local sufficient statistics. An average consensus algorithm is used to diffuse local sufficient statistics to neighbors and approxim...
Wavefront-ray grid FDTD algorithm Ciydem, Mehmet; Koç, Seyit Sencer (2016-01-01) A finite difference time domain algorithm on a wavefront-ray grid (WRG-FDTD) is proposed in this study to reduce numerical dispersion of conventional FDTD methods. A FDTD algorithm conforming to a wavefront-ray grid can be useful to take into account anisotropy effects of numerical grids since it features directional energy flow along the rays. An explicit and second-order accurate WRG-FDTD algorithm is provided in generalized curvilinear coordinates for an inhomogeneous isotropic medium. Numerical simulati...
Periodic solution for state-dependent impulsive shunting inhibitory CNNs with time-varying delays Sayli, Mustafa; YILMAZ, ENES (2015-08-01) In this paper, we consider existence and global exponential stability of periodic solution for state-dependent impulsive shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks with time-varying delays. By means of B-equivalence method, we reduce these state-dependent impulsive neural networks system to an equivalent fix time impulsive neural networks system. Further, by using Mawhin's continuation theorem of coincide degree theory and employing a suitable Lyapunov function some new sufficient conditions for existence...
