Fast and accurate solutions of electromagnetic scattering problems involving lossy dielectric objects are considered. Problems are formulated with two recently developed formulations, namely, the combined-tangential formulation (CTF) and the electric and magnetic current combined-field integral equation (JMCFIE), and solved iteratively using the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). Iterative solutions and accuracy of the results are investigated in detail for diverse geometries, frequencies, and conductivity values. It is demonstrated that CTF solutions are significantly accelerated as the conductivity increases to moderate values and CTF becomes comparable to JMCFIE in terms of efficiency. Considering also the superior accuracy of this formulation, CTF becomes suitable for fast and accurate analysis of scattering problems involving lossy dielectric objects.

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 (...
Iterative solution of composite problems with the combined-field integral equation Ergül, Özgür Salih (2006-09-15) We consider the solution of electromagnetic problems related to microwave applications involving composite geometries with coexisting open and closed conductors. Combined-field integral equation is introduced on the closed parts of the geometry to improve the iterative solutions. It is demonstrated that the convergence rates are significantly increased compared to the conventional formulation with the electric-field integral equation.
Efficient Multilayer Iterative Solutions of Electromagnetic Problems Using Approximate Forms of the Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm Onol, Can; Ucuncu, Arif; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2017-01-01) We consider efficient iterative solutions of large-scale electromagnetic problems involving metallic objects. For fast iterative solutions, a multilayer scheme using approximate forms of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm is developed. The approach is based on preconditioning each layer with iterative solutions at a lower layer, while the accuracy is changed from the top layer to the bottom layer. As opposed to the conventionally used algebraic preconditioners, the multilayer scheme: 1) does not requir...
Accurate solutions of scattering problems involving low-contrast dielectric objects with surface integral equations Ergül, Özgür Salih (2007-11-16) We present the stabilization of the surface integral equationsfor accurate solutions of scattering problems involvinglow-contrast dielectric objects. Unlike volume formulations,conventional surface formulations fail to provide accurateresults for the scatteredfields when the contrast of theobject is small. Therefore, surface formulations are requiredto be stabilized by extracting the nonradiating parts of theequivalent currents. In addition to previous strategies forthe stabilization, we introduce a n...
A Comparative Study of Surface Integral Equations for Accurate and Efficient Analysis of Plasmonic Structures Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Yilmaz, Akif; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2017-06-01) Surface integral equations, which are commonly used in electromagnetic simulations, have recently been applied to various plasmonic problems, while there is still no complete agreement on which formulations provide accurate and efficient solutions. In this paper, we present the strong material dependences of the conventional formulations, revealing their contradictory performances for different problems. We further explain the numerical problems in the constructed matrix equations, shedding light on the des...
