We consider the solution of large scattering problems in electromagnetics involving three-dimensional arbitrary geometries with closed surfaces. The problems are formulated accurately with the combined-field integral equation and the resulting dense matrix equations are solved iteratively by employing the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). With an efficient parallelization of MLFMA on relatively inexpensive computing platforms using distributed-memory architectures, we easily solve large-scale problems that are discretized with tens of millions of unknowns. Accuracy of the solutions is demonstrated on scattering problems involving spheres of various sizes, including a sphere of radius 110 lambda discretized with 41,883,638 unknowns, which is the largest integral-equation problem ever solved, to the best of our knowledge. In addition to canonical problems, we also present the solution of real-life problems involving complicated targets with large dimensions.

Stabilization of integral-equation formulations for the accurate solution of scattering problems involving low-contrast dielectric objects Ergül, Özgür Salih (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008-03-01) The solution of scattering problems involving low-contrast dielectric objects with three-dimensional arbitrary shapes is considered. Using the traditional forms of the surface integral equations, scattered fields cannot be calculated accurately if the contrast of the object is low. Therefore, we consider the stabilization of the formulations by extracting the nonradiating parts of the equivalent currents. We also investigate various types of stable formulations and show that accuracy can be improved systema...
Exact solution of the Dirac equation with the Mie-type potential under the pseudospin and spin symmetry limit Aydogdu, Oktay; Sever, Ramazan (Elsevier BV, 2010-02-01) We investigate the exact solution of the Dirac equation for the Mie-type potentials under the conditions of pseudospin and spin symmetry limits. The bound state energy equations and the corresponding two-component spinor wave functions of the Dirac particles for the Mie-type potentials with pseudospin and spin symmetry are obtained. We use the asymptotic iteration method in the calculations. Closed forms of the energy eigenvalues are obtained for any spin-orbit coupling term K. We also investigate the energ...
Rigorous solutions of large-scale dielectric problems with the parallel multilevel fast multipole algorithm Ergül, Özgür Salih (2011-08-20) We present fast and accurate solutions of large-scale electromagnetics problems involving three-dimensional homogeneous dielectric objects. Problems are formulated rigorously with the electric and magnetic current combined-field integral equation (JMCFIE) and solved iteratively with the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). In order to solve large-scale problems, MLFMA is parallelized efficiently on distributed-memory architectures using the hierarchical partitioning strategy. Efficiency and accuracy...
Scalar waves in spacetimes with closed timelike curves Buğdaycı, Necmi; Başkal, Sibel; Department of Physics (2005) The existence and -if exists- the nature of the solutions of the scalar wave equation in spacetimes with closed timelike curves are investigated. The general properties of the solutions on some class of spacetimes are obtained. Global monochromatic solutions of the scalar wave equation are obtained in flat wormholes of dimensions 2+1 and 3+1. The solutions are in the form of infinite series involving cylindirical and spherical wave functions and they are elucidated by the multiple scattering method. Explici...
Linearization instability for generic gravity in AdS spacetime Altas, Emel; Tekin, Bayram (American Physical Society (APS), 2018-1-24) In general relativity, perturbation theory about a background solution fails if the background spacetime has a Killing symmetry and a compact spacelike Cauchy surface. This failure, dubbed as linearization instability, shows itself as non-integrability of the perturbative infinitesimal deformation to a finite deformation of the background. Namely, the linearized field equations have spurious solutions which cannot be obtained from the linearization of exact solutions. In practice, one can show the failure o...
