The Factorization Method for Maxwell’s Equations
نویسنده
چکیده
The factorization method can be applied for certain classes of inverse problems where the shape of a domain has to be determined. It constructs a binary criterion which determines whether a given point is inside or outside the domain. The present paper develops the theory of the factorization method for the time harmonic Maxwell system where the support of the contrast of the index of refraction has to be determined from the knowledge of the far field patterns of the scattered fields for plane incident waves. The cases of an absorbing medium and a non-absorbing medium (where in the latter case the dielectricity varies smoothly) are considered.

Finite-Difference Time-Domain Simulation of Light Propagation in 2D Periodic and Quasi-Periodic Photonic Structures
Ultra-short pulse is a promising technology for achieving ultra-high data rate transmission which is required to follow the increased demand of data transport over an optical communication system. Therefore, the propagation of such type of pulses and the effects that it may suffer during its transmission through an optical waveguide has received a great deal of attention in the recent years. We...
متن کاملCell-vertex Based Multigrid Solution of the Time Domain Maxwell’s Equations
The time domain Maxwell’s equations are numerically solved using a multigrid method in a scattered field formulation and a cell-vertex based finite volume time domain framework. The multilevel method is an adaptation of Ni’s [9] cell-vertex based multigrid technique, proposed for accelerating steady state convergence of nonlinear Euler equations of gas dynamics. Accelerated convergence to stead...

We discuss the ab initio rendering four-dimensional (4-d) spacetime of Maxwell’s equations on random (irregular) lattices. This rendering is based on casting Maxwell’s equations in the framework of the exterior calculus of differential forms, and a translation thereof to a simplicial complex whereby fields and causative sources are represented as differential p-forms and paired with the oriente...
متن کاملMultiscale Numerical Algorithm for 3-d Maxwell’s Equations with Memory Effects in Composite Materials
This paper discusses the multiscale method for the time-dependent Maxwell’s equations with memory effects in composite materials. The main difficulty is that one cannot use the usual multiscale asymptotic method (cf. [25, 4]) to solve this problem, due to the complication of the memory terms. The key steps addressed in this paper are to transfer the original integrodifferential equations to the...
متن کاملAn Implicit Characteristic Based Method for Electromagnetics
An implicit characteristic-based approach for numerical solution of Maxwell’s time-dependent curl equations in flux conservative form is introduced. This method combines a characteristic based finite difference spatial approximation with an implicit lower-upper approximate factorization (LU/AF) time integration scheme. This approach is advantageous for three-dimensional applications because the...
