The importance of expanding Green's functions, particularly free-space Green's functions, in terms of orthogonal wave functions is practically self-evident when frequency domain scattering problems are of interest. With the relatively recent and widespread interest in time domain scattering problems, similar expansions of Green's functions are expected to be useful in the time domain. In this paper, two alternative expressions, expanded in terms of orthogonal spherical wave functions, for the free-space time domain scalar Green's functions are presented. Although the two expressions are equivalent, one of them is seen to be more convenient for the calculation of the scattered field for a known equivalent source density, whereas the second expression is more suitable for setting up an integral equation for the equivalent source density. Such an integral equation may be setup, for example, by the application of a time domain equivalent of the T-matrix (extended boundary condition) method. (C) 1997 Acoustical Society of America.

Spherical wave expansion of the time-domain free-space Dyadic Green's function Azizoglu, SA; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Buyukdura, OM (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2004-03-01) The importance of expanding Green's functions, particularly free-space Green's functions in terms of orthogonal wave functions is practically self-evident when frequency domain scattering problems are of interest. With the relatively recent and widespread interest in time-domain scattering problems, similar expansions of Green's functions are expected to be useful in the time-domain. In this paper, an expression, expanded in terms of orthogonal spherical vector wave functions, for the time-domain free-space...
Comparative evaluation of absorbing boundary conditions using Green's functions for layered media Aksun, MI; Dural Ünver, Mevlüde Gülbin (1996-02-01) Absorbing boundary conditions are comparatively studied using the Green's functions of the vector and scalar potentials for multilayer geometries and general sources. Since the absorbing boundaries are introduced as additional layers with predefined reflection coefficients into the calculation of the Green's functions, this approach provides an absolute measure of the effectiveness of different absorbing boundaries. The Green's functions are calculated using different reflection coefficients corresponding t...
Derivation of green’s functions for spherically stratified media using an equivalent two port network model / Yeni, Burcu; Dural Ünver, Mevlüde Gülbin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015) Derivation of dyadic Green’s functions for a variety of geometries is a problem frequently faced in different fields of electromagnetics including the analysis and design of antennas, waveguides and resonators. In the case of spherically stratified antenna, waveguide or resonator structures, the analytical derivation process of dyadic Green’s functions is often extremely complex while numerical solutions comprise heavy workload. In this thesis, an equivalent two-port network model, which was first developed...
Two approximation schemes to the bound states of the Dirac-Hulthen problem IKHDAİR, SAMEER; Sever, Ramazan (IOP Publishing, 2011-09-02) The bound-state (energy spectrum and two-spinor wavefunctions) solutions of the Dirac equation with the Hulthen potential for all angular momenta based on the spin and pseudospin symmetry are obtained. The parametric generalization of the Nikiforov-Uvarov method is used in the calculations. The orbital dependence (spin-orbit-and pseudospin-orbit-dependent coupling too singular 1/r(2)) of the Dirac equation are included to the solution by introducing a more accurate approximation scheme to deal with the cent...
Complete and Accurate Discrete Complex Image Approximation of Periodic Green's Function in Layered Media Adanir, Suleyman; Alatan, Lale (2014-08-01) The periodic Green's functions (PGF) in layered media can be expressed as an infinite series in terms of the spectral domain Green's functions. The discrete complex image method (DCIM) can be used to approximate these spectral domain Green's functions. In this work, it is demonstrated that the complete and accurate DCIM approximation of the PGF is possible only when the DCIM approximation is obtained through the samples of the spectral domain Green's function along the real k(p) axis. This choice of samplin...
