报告摘要:
In this presentation we describe the Non-uniform Grid (NG) approach and demonstrate that it can be employed to accelerate both iterative and direct integral equation-based solvers.  The NG approach stems from the observation that, locally, phase and amplitude compensated field radiated by a finite size source is an essentially bandlimited function of the angular and radial coordinates of the source centered spherical coordinate system.  Therefore, the radiated field can be sampled on a non-uniform spatial grid (NG) and subsequently evaluated at any point by phase and amplitude compensated interpolation.  Using such NG field representation and conventional hierarchical domain decomposition, the multilevel non-uniform grid (MLNG) algorithm reduces the complexity of field evaluation from　 to　 (  being the number of unknowns), thus facilitating fast iterative solution of electromagnetic and acoustic problems.  Furthermore, we developed direct solvers using NG-based matrix compression.  In this context, we show that the computational complexity of the matrix compression for scattering from quasi-planar and essentially convex 2D objects is approximately of O(N1.5) and O(N), respectively. The computational cost of the solution for each right-hand-side is approximately of O(N).
嘉宾简介：Amir Boag received the B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering and the B.A. degree in physics in 1983, both Summa Cum Laude, the M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering in 1985, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering in 1991, all from Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel.
