We consider fast and accurate solutions of electromagnetics problems involving three-dimensional photonic crystals (PhCs). Problems are formulated with the combined tangential formulation (CTF) and the electric and magnetic current combined-field integral equation (JMCFIE) discretized with the Rao-Wilton-Glisson functions. Matrix equations are solved iteratively by the multilevel fast multipole algorithm. Since PhC problems are difficult to solve iteratively, robust preconditioning techniques are required to accelerate iterative solutions. We show that novel approximate Schur preconditioners enable efficient solutions of PhC problems by reducing the number of iterations significantly for both CTF and JMCFIE.

Analysis of Dielectric Photonic-Crystal Problems With MLFMA and Schur-Complement Preconditioners Ergül, Özgür Salih; Gurel, Levent (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011-3) We present rigorous solutions of electromagnetics problems involving 3-D dielectric photonic crystals (PhCs). Problems are formulated with recently developed surface integral equations and solved iteratively using the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). For efficient solutions, iterations are accelerated via robust Schur-complement preconditioners. We show that complicated PhC structures can be analyzed with unprecedented efficiency and accuracy by an effective solver based on the combined tangenti...
Accurate and Efficient Solutions of Densely Discretized Closed Conductors Using a Combined Potential-Field Formulation Karaova, Gokhan; Eris, Ozgur; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2021-01-01) We present an accurate, efficient, and stable formulation for rigorous analyses of electromagnetic problems involving closed conductors. The formulation, namely the combined potential-field formulation (CPFF), is constructed from the conventional potential integral equations and the magnetic-field integral equation, together with an additional integral equation using the boundary condition for the normal component of the magnetic vector potential. Being both low-frequency-stable and resonance-free, CPFF is ...
Rigorous solutions of large-scale dielectric problems with the parallel multilevel fast multipole algorithm Ergül, Özgür Salih (2011-08-20) We present fast and accurate solutions of large-scale electromagnetics problems involving three-dimensional homogeneous dielectric objects. Problems are formulated rigorously with the electric and magnetic current combined-field integral equation (JMCFIE) and solved iteratively with the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). In order to solve large-scale problems, MLFMA is parallelized efficiently on distributed-memory architectures using the hierarchical partitioning strategy. Efficiency and accuracy...
Comparison of Integral-Equation Formulations for the Fast and Accurate Solution of Scattering Problems Involving Dielectric Objects with the Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm Ergül, Özgür Salih (2009-01-01) We consider fast and accurate solutions of scattering problems involving increasingly large dielectric objects formulated by surface integral equations. We compare various formulations when the objects are discretized with Rao-Wilton-Glisson functions, and the resulting matrix equations are solved iteratively by employing the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). For large problems, we show that a combined-field formulation, namely, the electric and magnetic current combined-field integral equation (...
Analysis of double-negative materials with surface integral equations and the multilevel fast multipole algorithm Ergül, Özgür Salih (2011-08-13) We present a fast and accurate analysis of double-negative materials (DNMs) with surface integral equations and the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). DNMs are commonly used as simplified models of metamaterials at resonance frequencies and are suitable to be formulated with surface integral equations. However, realistic metamaterials and their models are usually very large with respect to wavelength and their accurate solutions require fast algorithms, such as MLFMA. We consider iterative solutio...
