A high-order interior penalty method for scattering problems in two-dimensions is presented. Results for perfectly conducting objects illustrate the high accuracy of the method at low computational cost.
A meshless collocation method based on radial basis function (RBF) interpolation is presented for the numerical solution of Maxwell's equations. RBFs have attractive properties such as theoretical exponential convergence for increasingly dense node distributions. Although the primary interest resides in the time domain, an eigenvalue solver is used in this paper to investigate convergence properti
A high-order discontinuous Galerkin method for calculations of complex dispersion relations of two-dimensional photonic crystals is presented. The medium is characterized by a complex-valued permittivity and we relate for this absorptive system the spectral parameter to the time frequency. We transform the non-linear eigenvalue problem for a Lorentz material in air into a non-Hermitian linear eige
We study electromagnetic wave propagation in a periodic and frequency dependent material characterized by a space- and frequency-dependent complex-valued permittivity. The spectral parameter relates to the time-frequency, leading to spectral analysis of a holomorphic operator-valued function. We apply the Floquet transform and show for a fixed quasi-momentum that the resulting family of spectral p
For two-component composites, we address the inverse problem of estimating the structural parameters and decrease measurement errors in bulk property measurements. A measurement of the effective permittivity at one frequency gives microstructural information about the composite that is used in cross-property bounds to estimate the effective permittivity at other frequencies. We use this informatio
Meshless methods are a promising field of numerical methods recently introduced to computational electromagnetics. The potential of conformal and multi-scale modeling and the possibility of dynamic grid refinements are very attractive features that appear more naturally in meshless methods than in classical methods. The Radial Point Interpolation Method (RPIM) uses radial basis functions for the a
We study wave propagation in periodic and frequency dependent materials when the medium in a frequency interval is characterized by a real-valued permittivity. The spectral parameter relates to the quasi momentum, which leads to spectral analysis of a quadratic operator pencil where frequency is a parameter. We show that the underlying operator has a discrete spectrum, where the eigenvalues are sy
In this article we compute lossy Bloch waves in two-dimensional photonic crystals with dispersion and material loss. For given frequencies these waves are determined from non-linear eigenvalue problems in the wave vector. We applied two numerical methods to a demanding test case, a photonic crystal with embedded quantum dots that exhibits very strong and anamolous dispersion. The first method is b
A method is presented for estimating microstructural parameters from permittivity measurements of two-component composites. This structural information is described by a particular positive measure in the Stieltjes integral representation of the effective permittivity. The dependence on the geometrical structure can be reduced to the problem of calculating the moments of the measure. We present a
The bulk properties of composites are known to depend strongly on the microstructure. This dependence can be quantified in terms of a representation introduced by D. Bergman, which factorizes the geometry dependence from the contrast. Based on this analytic representation of the effective permittivity, we present a general scheme to estimate the microstructural parameters such as the volume fracti
A new method to estimate the micro-structural parameters of anisotropic two-phase composite material is derived. The parameters are estimated using information from measurements or from numerical experiments. The method is used to derive new bounds on the effective tensor that incorporates information from measurements of a related parameter. These new bounds are called cross-property bounds.
This paper is concerned with the estimation of macroscopic properties such as the permittivity or the thermal conductivity of a composite material from the microstructure. A new method of estimating the microstructural parameters, such as the volume fraction of anisotropic two-phase composite material, is derived. The parameters are estimated using information from measurements of the random mater
