In nowadays, it is still a challenge to solve electrically large problems using numerical methods, although the computing power is increasing continuously. Finite difference techniques have been widely used to solve many electromagnetic problems. These methods utilize the Yee cell to discretize the computational domain. The standard Yee scheme used in Finite Difference Frequency Domain (FDFD) method is only second-order accurate. In this study, fourth-and sixth-order accurate FDFD schemes are proposed. One of the most important aspects of FDFD methods is flexibility. Each cell can have a permittivity, permeability and other material parameters independent of others. Therefore it is easy to apply to non-uniform media. The fundamental performances of the proposed methods such as accuracy and memory requirement are presented and compared to the multiresolution frequency domain (MRFD), standard FDFD schemes and analytical solutions through several numerical examples. FDFD(4) method provides 63% and 92% efficiency compared to MRFD and FDFD(2) respectively. The matrix fill ratio for circular and square cylinder samples are achieved as 0.0094% and 0.0132% correspondingly.

Interharmonics analysis of power signals with fundamental frequency deviation using Kalman filtering
Köse, Neslihan; Salor, Oezguel; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2010-09-01)
In this paper a spectral decomposition-based method for interharmonic computation is proposed for power systems where the fundamental frequency fluctuates significantly. In the proposed method, the frequency domain components of the voltage waveform are obtained by Kalman filtering. Both the system fundamental frequency and the correct spectrum of the voltage waveform, and hence the exact interharrnonics are obtained. The proposed method is tested with both simulated and field data obtained from different e...
Broadband solutions of potential integral equations with NSPWMLFMA
Khalichi, Bahram; Ergül, Özgür Salih; Ertürk, Vakur B. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-06)
In this communication, a mixed-form multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) is combined with the recently introduced potential integral equations (PIEs), also called as the A-phi system, to obtain an efficient and accurate broadband solver that can be used for the solution of electromagnetic scattering from perfectly conducting surfaces over a wide frequency range including low frequencies. The mixed-form MLFMA uses the nondirective stable planewave MLFMA (NSPWMLFMA) at low frequencies and the conventio...
Data-parallel programming on Helios, Parallel environment and PVM
Sener, C; Paker, Y; Kiper, A (1996-09-27)
Parallel computing, increasingly used for computationally intensive problems, requires considerable expertise and time, limiting then widespread use. This article presents a data-parallel programming tool to simplify the task of developing parallel programs based on data-parallel type. It has been originally developed for the Hellos operating system running on a network of Transputers, and then ported to the IBM SP/2 system executing two parallel programming environments. With its interface to the C languag...
Nonlinear Decentralized Data Fusion with Generalized Inverse Covariance Intersection
Noack, Benjamin; Orguner, Umut; Hanebeck, Uwe D. (2019-01-01)
Decentralized data fusion is a challenging task even for linear estimation problems. Nonlinear estimation renders data fusion even more difficult as dependencies among the nonlinear estimates require complicated parameterizations. It is nearly impossible to reconstruct or keep track of dependencies. Therefore, conservative approaches have become a popular solution to nonlinear data fusion. As a generalization of Covariance Intersection, exponential mixture densities have been widely applied for nonlinear fu...
Broadband Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm Based on an Approximate Diagonalization of the Green's Function
Ergül, Özgür Salih (2015-07-01)
We present a broadband multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) for fast and efficient solutions of three-dimensional multiscale problems involving large objects with dense discretizations. The proposed solver is based on the approximate diagonalization of the Green's function using scaled spherical and plane waves, leading to stable interaction computations for arbitrarily short distances in terms of wavelength. Despite contradictory requirements on the scaling factor that limit the accuracy of the diag...
