Recent Advances in Fast and Iterative Algorithms in Computational Electromagnetics

Call for Papers

Realistic simulations of electromagnetic phenomena, such as scattering from airborne targets, scattering from human tissues, radiation from antennas, and transmission through optical imaging systems, metamaterials, and photonic crystals, can be extremely challenging. Solutions of those problems in diverse application areas often require fast and iterative algorithms, which may provide accurate results using limited computational resources, for example, CPU time and memory. Sequential and parallel implementations of fast and iterative algorithms are continuously being developed in the literature as a result of a need for more accurate, efficient, and realistic simulations. Considering recent efforts, it is not surprising that there are multiple algorithms and their alternative implementations for the solution of a given problem. Along this direction, the choice of the algorithm, its implementation, and solution parameters are of utmost importance in terms of efficiency and accuracy.

We invite researchers to submit original research articles on recent advances in fast and iterative algorithms in computational electromagnetics. We are particularly interested in new methods, techniques, and implementations that are developed for fast and accurate solutions of electromagnetics problems in all ranges of frequencies, as well as for similar applications in electrostatics and magnetostatics. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Fast solvers for surface and volume integral equations
• Multipole-based algorithms
• Diagonalization and expansion methods
• FFT-based algorithms
• Matrix compression algorithms
• Iterative techniques
• Preconditioning
• Recursive methods
• High-frequency techniques
• Parallelization and high-performance computing
• Hardware acceleration methods
• Programming techniques
• Applications of fast solvers in computational electromagnetics
