In this article, we introduce a new type of Characteristic Basis Finite Element Method (CBFEM), which is based on the concepts of Physical Optics (PO) and Perfectly Matched Layers (PMLs), for solving large-scale electromagnetic scattering problems in a rigorous and efficient manner. This parallel and iteration-free technique, called CBFEM-PO, decomposes the computational domain into a number of subdomains, and generates three types of characteristic basis functions (CBEs) that are specially-tailored to each individual subdomain. Of these, the first two types of CBEs are comprised of primary and secondary bases arising from the self-interactions in each subdomain and mutual-couplings between different subdomains, respectively. They are obtained by solving the localized problem in each subdomain, isolated by PML regions. The third-type of CBEs are derived by using the PO fields for different incident angles, polarization, and frequency. Two important salutary features of the proposed technique are: considerable reduction in the matrix size, which makes it feasible to use direct solvers; and convenient parallelizability that enables us to decrease the overall computation time by utilizing parallel platforms. We present a number of representative examples to illustrate the versatility of the method in solving 3D electromagnetic scattering problems. (C) 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Efficient finite element solution of low-frequency scattering problems via anisotropic metamaterial layers Ozgun, Ozlern; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (Wiley, 2008-03-01) We introduce a new technique which remedies the drawbacks in the Finite Element solution of low-frequency electromagnetic scattering problems, through the usage of an anisotropic metamaterial layer which is designed by employing the coordinate transformation approach. The usual finite element method should utilize a "challenging" mesh generation scheme to accurately simulate the "small" objects in scattering problems; on the contrary, the proposed technique provides a considerable reduction in the number of...
Electromagnetic metamorphosis: Reshaping scatterers via conformal anisotropic metamaterial coatings Ozgun, Ozlem; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (Wiley, 2007-10-01) We introduce a new technique (in the context of time-harmonic electromagnetic scattering), which renders an object (or scaterer) to be perceived as if it has a different shape, irrespective of the location of the observer. This is achieved through the usage of an anisotropic metamaterial layer, which is designed as conformal to the surface of the scatterer by employing the concept of coordinate transformation. We report some numerical results for finite element simulations of two-dimensional anisotropic met...
Forward-backward domain decomposition method for finite element solution of electromagnetic boundary value problems Ozgun, Ozlem; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (Wiley, 2007-10-01) We introduce the forward-backward domain decomposition method (FB-DDM), which is basically an improved version of the classical alternating Schwarz method with overlapping subdomains,for electromagnetic, boundary value problems. The proposed method is non-iterative in some cases involving smooth geometries, or it usually converges in a few iterations in other cases involving challenging geometries, via the utilization of the locally-conformal PML method. We report some numerical results for two- dimensional...
An efficient solution of the generalized eigenvalue problems for planar transmission lines Prakash, VVS; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Mittra, R (Wiley, 2001-11-05) This paper presents an efficient solution for solving the generalized eigenvalue equation arising in the finite-element (FE) formulation of propagation characterization of planar transmission-line structures. A two-dimensional (2-D) finite-element method (FEM) is used for analyzing the uniform planar transmission lines. The Arnoldi algorithm is used in conjunction with the multifrontal decomposition of the system matrix for solving the eigensystem. Convergence is typically obtained within a few iterations o...
Electronic properties of a large quantum dot at a finite temperature Gulveren, B; Atav, U; Tomak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2005-09-01) The physical properties of a two-dimensional parabolic quantum dot composed of large number of interacting electrons are numerically determined by the Thomas Fermi (TF) method at a finite temperature. Analytical solutions are given for zero temperature for comparative purposes. The exact solution of the TF equation is obtained for the non-interacting system at finite temperatures. The effect of the number of particles and temperature on the properties are investigated both for interacting and non-interactin...
