Covariance intersection (CI) is a method used for consistent track fusion with unknown correlations. The well-known generalization of CI to probability density functions is known as Chernoff fusion. In this paper, we propose an approximate approach for the Chernoff fusion of Gaussian mixtures based on a sigma-point approximation of the underlying densities. The resulting general density fusion rule yields a closed form cost function and an analytical fused density for Gaussian mixtures. The proposed method is applied to a simple but illustrative density fusion problem and compared to exact numerical Chernoff fusion.

Efficient Surface Integral Equation Methods for the Analysis of Complex Metamaterial Structures Yla-Oijala, Pasi; Ergül, Özgür Salih; Gurel, Levent; Taskinen, Matti (2009-03-27) Two approaches, the multilevel fast multipole algorithm with sparse approximate inverse preconditioner and the surface equivalence principle algorithm, are applied to analyze complex three-dimensional metamaterial structures. The efficiency and performance of these methods are studied and discussed.
A Multithreaded Recursive and Nonrecursive Parallel Sparse Direct Solver Bölükbaşı, Ercan Selçuk (2016-01-01) Sparse linear system of equations often arises after discretization of the partial differential equations (PDEs) such as computational fluid dynamics, material science, and structural engineering. There are, however, sparse linear systems that are not governed by PDEs, some examples of such applications are circuit simulations, power network analysis, and social network analysis. For solution of sparse linear systems one can choose using either a direct or an iterative method. Direct solvers are based on so...
Optimization of the array geometry for direction finding Özaydın, Seval; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Tanık, Yalçın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2003) In this thesis, optimization of the geometry of non-uniform arrays for direction finding yielding unambiguous results is studied. A measure of similarity between the array response vectors is defined. In this measure, the effects of antenna array geometry, source placements and antenna gains are included as variable parameters. Then, assuming that the antenna gains are known and constant, constraints on the similarity function are developed and described to result in unambiguous configurations and maximum r...
Error Control of MLFMA within a Multiple-Precision Arithmetic Framework Kalfa, Mert; ERTÜRK, VAKUR BEHÇET; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2018-07-13) We present a new error control scheme that provides the truncation numbers as well as the required digits of machine precision for the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). The proposed method is valid for all frequencies, whereas the previous studies on error control are valid only for high-frequency problems. When combined with a multiple-precision arithmetic framework, the proposed method can be used to solve low-frequency problems that would otherwise experience overflow issues. Numerical results...
Stabilization of the Fast Multipole Method for Low Frequencies Using Multiple-Precision Arithmetic Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2014-08-23) We stabilize a conventional implementation of the fast multipole method (FMM) for low frequencies using multiple-precision arithmetic (MPA). We show that using MPA is a direct remedy for low-frequency breakdowns of the standard diagonalization, which is prone to numerical errors at short distances with respect to wavelength. By increasing the precision, rounding errors are suppressed until a desired level of accuracy is obtained with plane-wave expansions. As opposed to other approaches in the literature, u...
