Extension Of A High-Order Petrov-Galerkin Implementation Applied To Non-Radiating And Radar Cross Section Geometries, William L. Shoemake Dec 2013

Extension Of A High-Order Petrov-Galerkin Implementation Applied To Non-Radiating And Radar Cross Section Geometries, William L. Shoemake

Masters Theses and Doctoral Dissertations

Capabilities of a high-order Petrov-Galerkin solver are expanded to include N-port systems. Tait-Bryan angles are employed to launch electro-magnetic waves in arbitrary directions allowing off axis ports to be driven. The transverse-electric (TE) formulation is added allowing waveguide geometries to be driven directly. A grid convergence study is performed on a coax-driven waveguide system. Physical data are matched to a hybrid-T junction (magic-T) electromagnetic waveguide structure to verify the TE driving formulation along with the Tait-Bryan angles and modified post-processing routines. A simple sphere case is used to exercise the radar cross section (RCS) routines and to examine the benefits …


Several New Families Of Jarratt’S Method For Solving Systems Of Nonlinear Equations, V. Kanwar, Sanjeev Kumar, Ramandeep Behl Dec 2013

Several New Families Of Jarratt’S Method For Solving Systems Of Nonlinear Equations, V. Kanwar, Sanjeev Kumar, Ramandeep Behl

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this study, we suggest and analyze a new and wide general class of Jarratt’s method for solving systems of nonlinear equations. These methods have fourth-order convergence and do not require the evaluation of any second or higher-order Fréchet derivatives. In terms of computational cost, all these methods require evaluations of one function and two first-order Fréchet derivatives. The performance of proposed methods is compared with their closest competitors in a series of numerical experiments. It is worth mentioning that all the methods considered here are found to be effective and comparable to the robust methods available in the literature.
