Computational Methods for Electromagnetics

<i>Computational Methods for Electromagnetics</i> is an indispensable resource for making efficient and accurate formulations for electromagnetics applications and their numerical treatment. Employing a unified coherent approach that is unmatched in the field, the authors detail both integral and differential equations using the method of moments and finite-element procedures. In addition, readers will gain a thorough understanding of numerical solution procedures. <p>Topics covered include:</p> <ul> <li>Two- and three-dimensional integral equation/method-of-moments formulations</li> <li>Open-region finite-element formulations based on the scalar and vector Helmholtz equations</li> <li>Finite difference time-domain methods</li> <li>Direct and iterative algorithms for the solutions of linear systems</li> <li>Error analysis and the convergence behavior of numerical results</li> <li>Radiation boundary conditions</li> <li>Acceleration methods for periodic Green’s functions</li> <li>Vector finite elements</li> </ul> Detail is provided to enable the reader to implement concepts in software and, in addition, a collection of related computer programs are available via the Internet. <i>Computational Methods for Electromagnetics</i> is designed for graduate-level classroom use or self-study, and every chapter includes problems. It will also be of particular interest to engineers working in the aerospace, defense, telecommunications, wireless, electromagnetic compatibility, and electronic packaging industries.
