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 be mitigated by using the LL functions for discretization. This is achieved without increasing the computational requirements and with only minor modifications in the existing codes based on the RWG functions.

On the accuracy of MFIE and CFIE in the solution of large electromagnetic scattering problems Ergül, Özgür Salih (null; 2006-11-10) 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 large scatterers. MFIE and CFIE with the conventional Rao-Wilton-Glisson (RWG) basis functions are significantly inaccurate even for large and smooth geometries, such as a sphere, compared to the solutions by the electric-field integral equation (EFIE). By using the LL funct...
MFIE-Based Formulation Using Double-Layer Modeling for Perfectly Conducting Objects Guler, Sadri; İbili, Hande; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2019-01-01) We present resonance-free solutions of scattering problems involving closed conductors using the magnetic field integral equation (MFIE). In the literature, MFIE is often combined with the electric-field integral equation (EFIE) to avoid internal resonances that can significantly contaminate solutions especially when scatterers become electrically large. The resulting combined-field integral equation (CFIE), however, possesses the disadvantages of EFIE, e.g., ill-conditioning for dense discretizations. We s...
Hybrid Surface Integral Equations for Optimal Analysis of Perfectly Conducting Bodies Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2015-07-24) We consider hybrid formulations involving simultaneous applications of the electric-field integral equation (EFIE), the magnetic-field integral equation (MFIE), and the combined-field integral equation (CFIE) for the electromagnetic analysis of three-dimensional conductors with arbitrary geometries. By selecting EFIE, MFIE, and CFIE regions on a given object, and optimizing these regions in accordance with the simulation requirements, one can construct an optimal hybrid-field integral equation (HFIE) that p...
Rigorous Solutions of Electromagnetic Problems Involving Hundreds of Millions of Unknowns Ergül, Özgür Salih (2011-02-01) Accurate simulations of real-life electromagnetic problems with integral equations require the solution of dense matrix equations involving millions of unknowns. Solutions of these extremely large problems cannot be easily achieved, even when using the most powerful computers with state-of-the-art technology. Hence, many electromagnetic problems in the literature have been solved by resorting to various approximation techniques, without controllable error. In this paper, we present full-wave solutions of sc...
Numerical solution of nonlinear reaction-diffusion and wave equations Meral, Gülnihal; Tezer, Münevver; Department of Mathematics (2009) In this thesis, the two-dimensional initial and boundary value problems (IBVPs) and the one-dimensional Cauchy problems defined by the nonlinear reaction- diffusion and wave equations are numerically solved. The dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) is used to discretize the IBVPs defined by single and system of nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations and nonlinear wave equation, spatially. The advantage of DRBEM for the exterior regions is made use of for the latter problem. The differential quad...
