The conventional combined-field integral equation (CFIE) using a Galerkin scheme suffers from inaccuracy issues due to the incorrect testing of the identity operator in the magnetic-field integral equation (MFIE). In this contribution, a mixed discretization scheme is used for correct testing of MFIE in the context of CFIE. The projection of testing spaces of EFIE and MFIE onto each other is required while solving CFIE numerically with the mixed discretization scheme. For this purpose, computations of the Gram matrix inversions are required to perform the projection operations. Such an operation can easily become computationally expensive, especially when solving large-scale problems using accelerated algorithms, such as the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). In this work, matrix decomposition methods and iterative solvers are used to solve Gram systems while solving CFIE with the mixed discretization scheme in the framework of MLFMA. The accuracy and efficiency of the results are compared, in the context of large-scale problems.

Parallel preconditioners for solutions of dense linear systems with tens of millions of unknowns Malas, Tahir; Ergül, Özgür Salih; Gurel, Levent (2007-11-09) We propose novel parallel preconditioning schemes for the iterative solution of integral equation methods. In particular, we try to improve convergence rate of the ill-conditioned linear systems formulated by the electric-field integral equation, which is the only integral-equation formulation for targets having open surfaces. For moderate-size problems, iterative solution of the neat-field system enables much faster convergence compared to the widely used sparse approximate inverse preconditioner. For larg...
Improving the accuracy of the MFIE with the choice of basis functions Ergül, Özgür Salih (2004-06-26) In the method-of-moments (MOM) and the fast-multipole-method (FMM) solutions of the electromagnetic scattering problems modeled by arbitrary planar triangulations, the magnetic-field integral equation (MFIE) can be observed to give less accurate results compared to the electric-field integral equation (EFIE), if the current is expanded with the Rao-Wilton-Glisson (RWG) basis functions. The inaccuracy is more evident for problem geometries with sharp edges or tips. This paper shows that the accuracy of the M...
Improving the Accuracy of MFIE and CFIE by Using Numerically Designed Testing Functions Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2016-07-01) We present a novel approach for improving the accuracy of the magnetic-field integral equation (MFIE) and the combined-field integral equation (CFIE) by using numerically designed testing functions. The compatibility of the MFIE and CFIE systems with the corresponding one derived from the electric-field integral equation (EFIE) is used to determine testing weights in given templates of testing directions. The designed testing functions lead to more accurate solutions in comparison to the standard discretiza...
JORDAN TYPES OF COMMUTING NILPOTENT MATRICES Öztürk, Semra (2018-01-01) Let A and B be matrices which are polynomials in r pairwise commuting nilpotent matrices over a field. We give a sufficient condition for the null space of A(i) to equal that of B-i for all i, in particular, for A and B to be similar.
Generalized Hybrid Surface Integral Equations for Finite Periodic Perfectly Conducting Objects Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2017-01-01) Hybrid formulations that are based on simultaneous applications of diversely weighted electric-field integral equation (EFIE) and magnetic-field integral equation (MFIE) on periodic but finite structures involving perfectly conducting surfaces are presented. Formulations are particularly designed for closed conductors by considering the unit cells of periodic structures as sample problems for optimizing EFIE and MFIE weights in selected regions. Three-region hybrid formulations, which are designed by geneti...
