Electromagnetic integral equations requiring small numbers of Krylov-subspace iterations

چکیده
We present a new class of integral equations for the solution of problems of scattering of electromagnetic fields by perfectly conducting bodies. Like the classical Combined Field Integral Equation (CFIE), our formulation results from a representation of the scattered field as a combination of magneticand electric-dipole distributions on the surface of the scatterer. In contrast with the classical equations, however, the electric-dipole operator we use contains a regularizing operator; we call the resulting equations Regularized Combined Field Integral Equations (CFIE-R). Unlike the CFIE, the CFIE-R are Fredholm equations which, we show, are uniquely solvable; our selection of coupling parameters, further, yields CFIE-R operators with excellent spectral distributions—with closely clustered eigenvalues—so that small numbers of iterations suffice to solve the corresponding equations by means of Krylov subspace iterative solvers such as GMRES. The regularizing operators are constructed on the basis of the single layer operator, and can thus be incorporated easily within any existing surface integral equation implementation for the solution of the classical CFIE. We present one such methodology: a high-order Nyström approach based on use of partitions of unity and trapezoidal-rule integration. A variety of numerical results demonstrate very significant gains in computational costs that can result from the new formulations, for a given accuracy, over those arising from previous approaches. ! 2009 Elsevier Inc.

Well conditioned boundary integral equations for two-dimensional sound-hard scattering problems in domains with corners
We present several well-posed, well-conditioned integral equation formulations for the solution of two-dimensional acoustic scattering problems with Neumann boundary conditions in domains with corners. We call these integral equations Direct Regularized Combined Field Integral Equations (DCFIE-R) formulations because (1) they consist of combinations of direct boundary integral equations of the ...
