We review Rañada’s knotted solutions of Maxwell equations in this thesis. We explain the method behind these constructions and its relation to topology. The method starts with the null field assumption. We obtain the initial conditions of the electromagnetic field using the Hopf map. Then we find the time-dependent fields using Fourier transformation techniques. Finally, we analyze the properties of general torus knotted solutions and show that these also include the non-null fields.

Analytical modeling of nonlinear evolution of long waves Aydın, Baran; Kanoğlu, Utku (2015-06-22) We present an initial-boundary value problem formulation for the solution of the nonlinear shallow-water wave (NSW) equations. We transform the nonlinear equations into a linear problem by using the Carrier-Greenspan transformation. Then, we obtain the solution through the separation of variables method rather than integral transform techniques, which is the usual practice (Carrier et al., J Fluid Mech 2003; Kanoglu, J Fluid Mech 2004). This formulation allows the use of any physically realistic initial wav...
Eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of Woods-Saxon potential in PT-symmetric quantum mechanics Berkdemir, Ayse; Berkdemir, Cuneyt; Sever, Ramazan (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2006-09-07) Using the Nikiforov-Uvarov method which is based on solving the second-order differential equations, we firstly analyzed the energy spectra and eigenfunctions of the Woods-Saxon potential. In the framework of the PT-symmetric quantum mechanics, we secondly solved the time-independent Schrodinger equation for the PT and non-PT-symmetric version of the potential. It is shown that the discrete energy eigenvalues of the non-PT-symmetric potential consist of the real and imaginary parts, but the PT-symmetric one...
Quasilinear differential equations with strongly unpredictable solutions Akhmet, Marat; Zhamanshin, Akylbek (2020-01-01) The authors discuss the existence and uniqueness of asymptotically stable unpredictable solutions for some quasilinear differential equations. Two principal novelties are in the basis of this research. The first one is that all coordinates of the solution are unpredictable functions. That is, solutions are strongly unpredictable. Secondly, perturbations are strongly unpredictable functions in the time variable. Examples with numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the theoretical results.
Reference-plane-invariant waveguide method for electromagnetic characterization of bi-axial bianisotropic metamaterials HASAR, UĞUR CEM; Yildiz, Gul; BUTE, MUSA; Muratoğlu, Abdurrahim (2018-11-01) In this paper, we investigate a reference-plane invariant (RPI) method for electromagnetic property extraction of bi-axial bianisotropic metamaterial (MM) slabs. In order to obtain unique properties, we applied the frequency varying technique in order to determine the location of the slab within its cell. For validation of the proposed method, we first simulated and then measured scattering parameters of a MM slab constructed by split-ring-resonators, next extracted its electromagnetic properties, and final...
Numerical Design of Testing Functions for the Magnetic-Field Integral Equation Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2016-04-15) We present a novel numerical approach to design testing functions for the magnetic-field integral equation (MFIE). Enforcing the compatibility of matrix equations derived from MFIE and the electric-field integral equation (EFIE) for the same problem, testing weights for MFIE are determined on given templates of testing functions. The resulting MFIE systems produce more accurate results that the conventional MFIE implementations, without increasing the number of iterations and processing time. The design pro...
