Analysis of FDTD to UPML for Maxwell equations in polar coordinates

An FDTD system associated with uniaxial perfectly matched layer(UPML) for an electromagnetic scattering problem in two-dimensional space in polar coordinates is considered.Particularly the FDTD system of an initial-boundary value problems of the transverse magnetic(TM) mode to Maxwell’s equations is obtained by Yee’s algorithm,and the open domain of the scattering problem is truncated by a circle with a UPML.Besides,an artificial boundary condition is imposed on the outer boundary of the UPML.Afterwards,stability of the FDTD system on the truncated domain is established through energy estimates by the Gronwall inequality.Numerical experiments are designed to approve the theoretical analysis.     

Initial-boundary value problem and integrodifferential equations of electrodynamics for an inhomogeneous conductive body

The initial-boundary value problem of determining the electromagnetic field in an inhomogeneous conducting sample and the surrounding external medium is solved under certain assumptions on the sample, the external medium, and the external current density. The existence of a classical solution to this problem is proved. The electromagnetic field under small variations in the sample’s electric conductivity is computed by applying perturbation theory.     

An initial-boundary value problem for the Maxwell equations

In this paper, by using methods from complex analysis and quaternionic analysis, we investigate an initial-boundary value problem for the Maxwell equations and obtain the general solutions and solvable conditions of the problem respectively in different cases. In addition, by using a similar method, we also discuss an initial-boundary value problem for a hyperbolic complex system of first order equations in R³.     

A Stability Estimate for a Solution to a Three-Dimensional Inverse Problem for the Maxwell Equations

We consider the problem of determining dielectric permittivity and conductivity in the Maxwell equations. As additional information we prescribe the traces of the tangential components of the electromagnetic field on the lateral surface of a cylindric domain. We establish a stability estimate for a solution to the inverse problem and a uniqueness theorem.     

Analysis of a finite PML approximation for the three dimensional time-harmonic Maxwell and acoustic scattering problems

We consider the approximation of the frequency domain three-dimensional Maxwell scattering problem using a truncated domain perfectly matched layer (PML). We also treat the time-harmonic PML approximation to the acoustic scattering problem. Following work of Lassas and Somersalo in 1998, a transitional layer based on spherical geometry is defined, which results in a constant coefficient problem outside the transition. A truncated (computational) domain is then defined, which covers the transition region. The truncated domain need only have a minimally smooth outer boundary (e.g., Lipschitz continuous). We consider the truncated PML problem which results when a perfectly conducting boundary condition is imposed on the outer boundary of the truncated domain. The existence and uniqueness of solutions to the truncated PML problem will be shown provided that the truncated domain is sufficiently large, e.g., contains a sphere of radius . We also show exponential (in the parameter ) convergence of the truncated PML solution to the solution of the original scattering problem inside the transition layer.

Our results are important in that they are the first to show that the truncated PML problem can be posed on a domain with nonsmooth outer boundary. This allows the use of approximation based on polygonal meshes. In addition, even though the transition coefficients depend on spherical geometry, they can be made arbitrarily smooth and hence the resulting problems are amenable to numerical quadrature. Approximation schemes based on our analysis are the focus of future research.

     

Propagation of TM waves in a Kerr nonlinear layer

TM electromagnetic waves propagating through a nonlinear homogeneous isotropic unmagnetized dielectric layer located between two homogeneous isotropic half-spaces are studied. The nonlinearity in the layer obeys the Kerr law. The problem is reduced to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. A dispersion relation for the propagation constants is derived. The results are compared with those in the case of a linear layer.     

Simple geometric constructions of quadratically and cubically convergent iterative functions to solve nonlinear equations

In this paper, we derive one-parameter families of Newton, Halley, Chebyshev, Chebyshev-Halley type methods, super-Halley, C-methods, osculating circle and ellipse methods respectively for finding simple zeros of nonlinear equations, permitting f ′ (x) = 0 at some points in the vicinity of the required root. Halley, Chebyshev, super-Halley methods and, as an exceptional case, Newton method are seen as the special cases of the family. All the methods of the family and various others are cubically convergent to simple roots except Newton’s or a family of Newton’s method.

Continuation of a solution to a homogeneous system of Maxwell equations

We consider the problem on the continuation of a solution to a system of Maxwell equations, using its values on a part of the domain boundary.     

On a class of nonlinear integral equations

In this paper we consider abstract equations of the typeK _ν ν +ν =w ₀, in a closed convex subset of a separable Hilbert spaceH. For eachv in the closed convex subset,K _v :H →H is a bounded linear map. As an application of our abstract result we obtain an existence result for nonlinear integral equations of the typeν(s)+ν(s)∫ ₀ ¹ k(s,t)ν(t)dt =W ₀(s) in the spaceL ² [0,1].     

Some classes of inverse evolution problems for parabolic equations

We consider the problem of simultaneously determining coefficients of a second order nonlinear parabolic equation and a solution to this equation. The unknown coefficients occur in the main part and in the nonlinear summand as well. The overdetermination conditions are conditions of the Dirichlet type on a family of planes of arbitrary dimension. It is demonstrated that the problem in question is solvable locally in time in Hölder spaces. When the unknown functions enter the right-hand side and the equation is linear, the theorem of global unique existence (in time) is established.     

Stability of an expanding bubble in the Rayleigh model

A bubble expands adiabatically in an incompressible, inviscid liquid. The variation of its radiusR with time is given by the Rayleigh’s equation. We find that the bubble is stable at the equilibrium point in this model.     

Modified families of multi-point iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations

We further present some semi-discrete modifications to the cubically convergent iterative methods derived by Kanwar and Tomar (Modified families of Newton, Halley and Chebyshev methods, Appl. Math. Comput. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.amc.2007.02.119) and derived a number of interesting new classes of third-order multi-point iterative methods free from second derivatives. Furthermore, several functions have been tested and all the methods considered are found to be effective and compared to the well-known existing third and fourth-order multi-point iterative methods.      

Stability analysis of set trajectories for families of impulsive equations

In this paper, for a family of impulsive equations, a heterogeneous matrix-valued Lyapunov-like function is considered, the comparison principle is formulated, and stability conditions for the set of stationary solutions are established. In addition, for a class of impulsive equations with uncertain parameters the monotone iterative technique for constructing a set of solutions is adapted.     

Stability of a bubble expanding and translating through an inviscid liquid

A bubble expands adiabatically and translates in an incompressible and inviscid liquid. We investigate the number of equilibrium points of the bubble and the nature of stability of the bubble at these points. We find that there is only one equilibrium point and the bubble is stable there.     

Optimal method for truncating a chain of equations for two-time Green’s functions

We use an example of a chain of equations describing a system of Bose particles with pairwise interaction to develop a method for decoupling the chain at its second element. We obtain an approximation of the interacting-modes type, which results in a system of nonlinear equations for one-, two-, and three-particle functions. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 147, No. 3, pp. 503–510, June, 2006.
