An Efficient Fast Algorithm for Accelerating the Time-Domain Integral Equation Discontinuous Galerkin Method

摘要

An efficient fast algorithm for accelerating the time-domain integral equation discontinuous Galerkin (TDIEDG) method for analyzing the transient scattering from electrically large complex objects is proposed. The TDIEDG is discretized using the monopolar Rao-Wilton-Glisson (RWG) function and shifted Lagrange polynomial function in spatial and time domain, respectively. The final system of equations can be solved iteratively using the classical marching-on-in-time scheme. Taking advantage of the approximate evaluation of the vector and scalar potential terms combined with the Taylor series expansion of the transient far field, the computational burden of the TDIEDG solver has been significantly reduced. In addition, it is flexible and convenient to analyze object with nonconformal discretization due to the employment of the monopolar RWG functions.
