Iterative leap-field domain decomposition method: a domain decomposition finite element algorithm for 3D electromagnetic boundary value problems

2010-04-01
The authors introduce the iterative leap-field domain decomposition method that is tailored to the finite element method, by combining the concept of domain decomposition and the Huygens' Principle. In this method, a large-scale electromagnetic boundary value problem is partitioned into a number of suitably-defined 'small' and manageable subproblems whose solutions are assembled to obtain the global solution. The main idea of the method is the iterative application of the Huygens' Principle to the fields radiated by the equivalent currents calculated in each iteration. In the context of the electromagnetic scattering, the method can be applied to cases involving multiple objects, as well as to a 'single' challenging object in a straightforward manner via the locally conformal perfectly matched layer technique. The most attractive feature of the method is the considerable reduction in the memory requirements and computation time. It is observed that convergence is achieved after a few iterations and computation time may further be reduced via parallel processing techniques. After developing the analytical background of this method, we present some numerical results related to the three-dimensional electromagnetic scattering problems.

In this paper, we present a novel, non-iterative domain decomposition method, which has been parallelized by using the message passing interface (MPI) library, and used to efficiently extract the capacitance matrixes of 3-D interconnect structures, by employing characteristic basis functions (CBFs) in the context of the finite element method (FEM).

A recently developed numerical technique for improving the accuracy of the magnetic-field integral equation and the combined-field integral equation with low-order discretizations using the Rao-Wilton-Glisson functions is demonstrated on iterative solutions of large-scale complex problems, in order to prove the effectiveness of the proposed strategy as an alternative way for accurate and efficient analysis of multifrequency applications.
Derivation of length extension formulas for complementary sets of sequences using orthogonal filterbanks
Candan, Çağatay (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2006-11-23)
A method for the construction of complementary sets of sequences using polyphase representation of orthogonal filterbanks is presented. It is shown that the case of two-channel filterbanks unifies individually derived length extension formulas for complementary sequences into a common framework and the general M-channel case produces novel formulas for the extension of complementary sets of sequences. The presented technique can also be used to generate polyphase and multilevel sequences.
Implementation of the Equivalence Principle Algorithm for Potential Integral Equations
Farshkaran, Ali; Ergül, Özgür Salih (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-05-01)
A novel implementation of the equivalence principle algorithm (EPA) employing potential integral equations (PIEs) is presented. EPA is generalized to be compatible with PIEs that are used to formulate inner problems inside equivalence surfaces. Based on the stability of PIEs, the resulting EPA-PIE implementation is suitable for low-frequency problems involving dense discretizations with respect to wavelength. Along with the formulation and a clear demonstration of the EPA-PIE mechanism, high accuracy, stabi...
Singularity of the magnetic-field integral equation and its extraction
Gurel, L; Ergül, Özgür Salih (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005-01-01)
In the solution of the magnetic-field integral equation (MFIE) by the method of moments (MOM) on planar triangulations, singularities arise both in the inner integrals on the basis functions and also in the outer integrals on the testing functions. A singularity-extraction method is introduced for the efficient and accurate computation of the outer integrals, similar to the way inner-integral singularities are handled. In addition, various formulations of the MFIE and the electric-field integral equation ar...
