Using a pseudo-spectral method that is split step Fourier method, obtaining a solutionfor propagation of ionizing short Gaussian pulse would be computationally inexpen-sive and practical. For a solution obtained by using split step Fourier method, themost important parameter to choose is step size. However, using either large or smallstep size may yield different numerical errors in the final result. For a large step size,general evolution of the Gaussian pulse could be predicted well but small changesmight be neglected. for a small step size, small changes could be indicated well butthere would be a prone to error in general pulse evolution. Furthermore, using ageneric method of undetermined coefficients that could be utilized for every differ-ential equation would yield a high accuracy solution in order to check the validity ofsplit-step Fourier method.The aim of this study is to examine the evolution of the ionizing short Gaussian pulselasers in a non-linear medium in both low intensity propagation regime and high in-tensity propagation regime via various methods to solve the propagation equationi.esplit-step Fourier method and method of undetermined coefficients. Similarity of twosolutions arising from split-step Fourier method and method of undetermined coefficients would evolve in a similar trend. Comparison of solutions for both gatheredfrom split-step Fourier method and method of undetermined coefficients with the pre-vious solutions from the literature in the low intensity propagation regime are behavesimilar except some pulse parameters. Difference between in the parameters of theGaussian pulse in low intensity propagation regime and high intensity propagationregime has been shown.Results would be given in terms of the pulse parametersi.espot size, pulse length,intensity, power, electron number density, field amplitude and energy. These resultswould be used for whether split-step Fourier method and method of undeterminedcoefficients match the expectancy. Evolution that could be derived by these two dif-ferent methods fulfill the expectancy, that is expected power loss, expected energyloss and shorter focus length.

Continuous-time nonlinear estimation filters using UKF-aided gaussian sum representations Gökçe, Murat; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) A nonlinear filtering method is developed for continuous-time nonlinear systems with observations/measurements carried out in discrete-time by means of UKFaided Gaussian sum representations. The time evolution of the probability density function (pdf) of the state variables (or the a priori pdf) is approximated by solving the Fokker-Planck equation numerically using Euler’s method. At every Euler step, the values of the a priori pdf are evaluated at deterministic sample points. These values are used with Ga...
On the detection of sinusoidal signals under sinusoidal interference Balcı, Burak; Candan, Çağatay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) A complex exponential waveform embedded in white noise can be optimally detected by matched filtering which is equivalent to Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). However, if the input includes multiple complex exponentials, the DFT processing is not optimal. The frequency spectrum of the complex exponential signal with finite observation interval is not impulse. The spectrum includes side-lobes called spectral leakage.Because of the strong side-lobes, weak components can be masked, or side-lobes can be interpr...
Use of the reciprocal problems in electro-magnetic source imaging of the human brain Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (2003-09-21) In this work, solution of the Electro-magnetic source imaging forward problem is formulated using the reciprocity theorem. Lead field solutions for electrode potentials and sensor magnetic fields are computed for a realistic head model using the Finite Element Method. Potentials and magnetic fields obtained using the lead fields are compared to analytical solutions and direct numerical solutions. It is found that the accuracy of lead field based solution is comparable to the accuracy of direct numerical sol...
Applications of hybrid discrete Fourier transform-moment method to the fast analysis of large rectangular dipole arrays printed on a thin grounded dielectric substrate Chou, HT; Ko, HK; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; ERTÜRK, VAKUR BEHÇET (2002-08-05) Recently a discrete Fourier transform-method of moments (DFT-MoM) scheme was developed for fast analysis of electrically large rectangular planar dipole arrays, which has been shown to be very efficient in terms of number reduction of unknown variables and computational complexity. The applications of this DFT-MoM to treat dipole arrays printed on a grounded dielectric substrate are examined in this Letter. Numerical results are presented to validate its efficiency and accuracy. (C) 2002 Wiley Periodicals, ...
Exact Pseudospin Symmetric Solution of the Dirac Equation for Pseudoharmonic Potential in the Presence of Tensor Potential AYDOĞDU, OKTAY; Sever, Ramazan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-04-01) Under the pseudospin symmetry, we obtain exact solution of the Dirac equation for the pseudoharmonic potential in the presence of the tensor potential with arbitrary spin-orbit coupling quantum number kappa. The energy eigenvalue equation of the Dirac particles is found and the corresponding radial wave functions are presented in terms of confluent hypergeometric functions. We investigate the tensor potential dependence of the energy of the each state in the pseudospin doublet. It is shown that degeneracy b...
