We present a new error control method that provides the truncation numbers as well as the required digits of machine precision for the translation operator of 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 (i.e., electrically large translation distances). When combined with a multiple-precision implementation of MLFMA, the proposed method can be used to solve low-frequency problems that are problematic with a fixed-precision implementation. Numerical results in the form of optimal truncation numbers and machine precisions for a variety of box sizes and desired relative error thresholds are presented and compared with the methods or numerical surveys available in the literature.

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...
Error Control of Multiple-Precision MLFMA Kalfa, Mert; Ergül, Özgür Salih; Erturk, Vakur B. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018-10) We introduce and demonstrate a new error control scheme for the computation of far-zone interactions in the multilevel fast multipole algorithm when implemented within a multiple-precision arithmetic framework. The proposed scheme provides the optimum truncation numbers as well as the machine precisions given the desired relative error thresholds and the box sizes for the translation operator at all frequencies. In other words, unlike the previous error control schemes which are valid only for high-frequenc...
PARALLEL MULTILEVEL FAST MULTIPOLE ALGORITHM FOR COMPLEX PLASMONIC METAMATERIAL STRUCTURES Ergül, Özgür Salih (2013-11-09) A parallel implementation of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) is developed for fast and accurate solutions of electromagnetics problems involving complex plasmonic metamaterial structures. Composite objects that consist of multiple penetrable regions, such as dielectric, lossy, and plasmonic parts, are formulated rigorously with surface integral equations and solved iteratively via MLFMA. Using the hierarchical strategy for the parallelization, the developed implementation is capable of simul...
Efficient and Accurate Electromagnetic Optimizations Based on Approximate Forms of the Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm Onol, Can; Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2016-01-01) We present electromagnetic optimizations by heuristic algorithms supported by approximate forms of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). Optimizations of complex structures, such as antennas, are performed by considering each trial as an electromagnetic problem that can be analyzed via MLFMA and its approximate forms. A dynamic accuracy control is utilized in order to increase the efficiency of optimizations. Specifically, in the proposed scheme, the accuracy is used as a parameter of the optimiz...
Rigorous Solutions of Large-Scale Scattering Problems Discretized with Hundreds of Millions of Unknowns Guerel, L.; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2009-09-18) We present fast and accurate solutions of large-scale scattering problems using a parallel implementation of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). By employing a hierarchical partitioning strategy, MLFMA can be parallelized efficiently on distributed-memory architectures. This way, it becomes possible to solve very large problems discretized with hundreds of millions of unknowns. Effectiveness of the developed simulation environment is demonstrated on various scattering problems involving canonic...
