Computational Methods for Electromagnetics

Computational Methods for Electromagnetics is anindispensable resource for making efficient and accurateformulations for electromagnetics applications and their numericaltreatment. Employing a unified coherent approach that is unmatchedin the field, the authors detail both integral and differentialequations using the method of moments and finite-elementprocedures. In addition, readers will gain a thorough understandingof numerical solution procedures.

Topics covered include:

• Two- and three-dimensional integral equation/method-of-momentsformulations
• Open-region finite-element formulations based on the scalar andvector Helmholtz equations
• Finite difference time-domain methods
• Direct and iterative algorithms for the solutions of linearsystems
• Error analysis and the convergence behavior of numericalresults
• Radiation boundary conditions
• Acceleration methods for periodic Green's functions
• Vector finite elements

Detail is provided to enable the reader to implement concepts insoftware and, in addition, a collection of related computerprograms are available via the Internet. Computational Methodsfor Electromagnetics is designed for graduate-level classroomuse or self-study, and every chapter includes problems. It willalso be of particular interest to engineers working in theaerospace, defense, telecommunications, wireless, electromagneticcompatibility, and electronic packaging industries.
