Full textAbstract:
We study two finite element methods for solving time-harmonic electromagnetic and acoustic problems: the discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin (DPG) method and the hybrid discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method.
The DPG method for the Helmholtz equation is studied using a test space normed by a modified graph norm. The modification scales one of the terms in the graph norm by an arbitrary positive scaling parameter. We find that, as the parameter approaches zero, better results are obtained, under some circumstances. A dispersion analysis on the multiple interacting stencils that form the DPG method shows that the discrete wavenumbers of the method are complex, explaining the numerically observed artificial dissipation in the computed wave approximations. Since the DPG method is a nonstandard least-squares Galerkin method, its performance is compared with a standard least-squares method having a similar stencil.
We study the HDG method for complex wavenumber cases and show how the HDG stabilization parameter must be chosen in relation to the wavenumber. We show that the commonly chosen HDG stabilization parameter values can give rise to singular systems for some complex wavenumbers. However, this failure is remedied if the real part of the stabilization parameter has the opposite sign of the imaginary part of the wavenumber. For real wavenumbers, results from a dispersion analysis for the Helmholtz case are presented. An asymptotic expansion of the dispersion relation, as the number of mesh elements per wave increase, reveal values of the stabilization parameter that asymptotically minimize the HDG wavenumber errors. Finally, a dispersion analysis of the mixed hybrid Raviart-Thomas method shows that its wavenumber errors are an order smaller than those of the HDG method.
We conclude by presenting some contributions to the development of software tools for using the DPG method and their application to a terahertz photonic structure. We attempt to simulate field enhancements recently observed in a novel arrangement of annular nanogaps.

Full textAbstract:
Diese Arbeit widmet sich der Simulation von elektrischen/elektronischen Schaltungen welche um elektromagnetische Bauelemente erweitert werden. Im Fokus stehen unterschiedliche Kopplungen der Schaltungsgleichungen, modelliert mit der modifizierten Knotenanalyse, und den elektromagnetischen Bauelementen mit deren verfeinerten Modell basierend auf den vollen Maxwell-Gleichungen in der Lorenz-geeichten A-V Formulierung welche durch Finite-Integrations-Technik räumlich diskretisiert werden. Eine numerische Analyse erweitert die topologischen Kriterien für den Index der resultierenden differential-algebraischen Gleichungen, wie sie bereits in anderen Arbeiten mit ähnlichen Feld/Schaltkreis-Kopplungen hergeleitet wurden. Für die Simulation werden sowohl ein monolithischer Ansatz als auch Waveform-Relaxationsmethoden untersucht. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei Zeitintegration, Skalierungsmethoden, strukturelle Eigenschaften und ein hybride Ansatz zur Lösung der zugrundeliegenden linearen Gleichungssysteme welcher den Einsatz spezialisierter Löser für die jeweiligen Teilsysteme erlaubt. Da die vollen Maxwell-Gleichungen zusätzliche Ableitungen in der Kopplungsstruktur verursachen, sind bisher existierende Konvergenzaussagen für die Waveform-Relaxation von gekoppelten differential-algebraischen Gleichungen nicht anwendbar und motivieren eine neue Konvergenzanalyse. Auf dieser Analyse aufbauend werden hinreichende topologische Kriterien entwickelt, welche eine Konvergenz von Gauß-Seidel- und Jacobi-artigen Waveform-Relaxationen für die gekoppelten Systeme garantieren. Schließlich werden numerische Benchmarks zur Verfügung gestellt, um die eingeführten Methoden und Theoreme dieser Abhandlung zu unterstützen.This work is devoted to the simulation of electrical/electronic circuits incorporating electromagnetic devices. The focus is on different couplings of the circuit equations, modeled with the modified nodal analysis, and the electromagnetic devices with their refined model based on full-wave Maxwell's equations in Lorenz gauged A-V formulation which are spatially discretized by the finite integration technique. A numerical analysis extends the topological criteria for the index of the resulting differential-algebraic equations, as already derived in other works with similar field/circuit couplings. For the simulation, both a monolithic approach and waveform relaxation methods are investigated. The focus is on time integration, scaling methods, structural properties and a hybrid approach to solve the underlying linear systems of equations with the use of specialized solvers for the respective subsystems. Since the full-Maxwell approach causes additional derivatives in the coupling structure, previously existing convergence statements for the waveform relaxation of coupled differential-algebraic equations are not applicable and motivate a new convergence analysis. Based on this analysis, sufficient topological criteria are developed which guarantee convergence of Gauss-Seidel and Jacobi type waveform relaxation schemes for introduced coupled systems. Finally, numerical benchmarks are provided to support the introduced methods and theorems of this treatise.

In the modern world, because of increasing oil prices and the need to control greenhouse gas emission, a new interest in the production of electric cars is coming about. One of the products is a charging point for electric cars, at which electric cars can be recharged by a plug in cable. Usually people are required to pay for the electricity after recharging the electric cars. Today, the payment is handled by using SMS or through the parking system. There is now an opportunity, in cooperation with AES (the company with which we are working), to equip the pole with GPRS, and this requires development and maintenance of the antenna. The project will include data analysis of the problem, measurements and calculations. In this work, we are computing energy flow of the wave due to the location of the antenna inside the box. We need to do four steps. First, we take a set of points (determined by the computational mesh) that have the same distance from the antenna in the domain. Second, we calculate the angles between the ground and the points in the set. Third, we do an angle-energy plot, to analyse which angle can give the maximum energy. And last, we need to compare the maximum energy value of different position of the antenna. We are going to solve the problem in Matlab, based on the Maxwell equation and the Helmholtz equation, which is not time-dependent.

In this report, we study various nonlinear wave equations arising in mathematical physics and investigate the existence of solutions to these equations using variational methods. In particular, we look for particle-like traveling wave solutions known as solitary waves. This study is motivated by the prevalence of solitary waves in applications and the rich mathematical structure of the nonlinear wave equations from which they arise. We focus on a semilinear perturbation of Maxwell's equations and the nonlinear Klein - Gordon equation coupled with Maxwell's equations. Physical ramifications of these equations are also discussed.

The aim of the work is to study the electromagnetic field theory, finite element method and the interaction of electromagnetic field with tissues. Gained knowledge is then used to calculate spreading of the electromagnetic field in the microwave field and to create a temperature profile of spreading the electromagnetic fields in human tissue. The finite element method was implemented in the Matlab programming environment, where the 1D model was created in the frequency and time domain and a simple 2D model created in time domain. The program was developed to analyze spreading electromagnetic wave. Another part of work was done in the programming environment of COMSOL Multiphysics. In this case was the human leg exposed to electromagnetic fields. The analysis determined the changes of temperature in these biological tissues for six minutes.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis consists of two articles related to mathematical relativity theory. In the first article we prove future stability of certain spatially homogeneous solutionsto Einstein’s field equations. The matter model is assumed to consist of an electromagnetic field and a scalar field with a potential creating an accelerated expansion. Beside this, more general properties concerning Einstein’s field equation coupled to a scalar field and an electromagnetic field are settled. The most important of these questions are the existence of a maximal globally hyperbolic development and the Cauchy stability of solutions to the initial value problem. In the second article we consider Einstein’s field equations where the matter model consists of two momentum distribution functions. The first momentum distribution function represents massive matter, for instance galactic dust, and the second represents massless matter, for instance radiation. Furthermore, we require that each of the momentum distribution functions shall satisfy the Vlasov equation. This means that the momentum distribution functions represent collisionless matter. If Einstein’s field equations with such a matter model is expressed in coordinates and if certain gauges are fixed we get a system of integro-partial differential equations we shall call non-linear wave equations coupled to generalized massive-massless Vlasov equations. In the second article we prove that the initial value problem associated to this kind of equations has a unique local solution.QC 20120503

The FETI is for the first time rigorously derived using the weighted residual framework from which important insights are gained. The FETI is used in a novel way to implement a total-/scattered field decomposition and is shown to give excellent results. The FETI is newly formulated for the time domain(FETI-TD), its feasibility is tested and it is further formulated and tested for implementation on a distributed computer architecture.

Full textAbstract:
L'objectif de cette thèse est de décrire le comportement asymptotique des solutions à données petites du système de Vlasov-Maxwell. En particulier, on s'attachera à étudier tant le champ électromagnétique que le champ de Vlasov par des méthodes de champs de vecteurs, nous permettant ainsi d'éviter toute contrainte de support sur les données initiales. La structure isotrope du système de Vlasov-Maxwell est d'une importance capitale pour compenser le phénomène de résonance causé par les particules approchant la vitesse de propagation du champ électromagnétique. De ce fait, plusieurs parties de ce manuscrit sont dédiées à sa description. Ajoutons également que les méthodes de champs de vecteurs sont connues pour être robustes et s'adapter relativement bien à d'autres situations telles que l'étude des solutions de l'équation des ondes sur un espace-temps courbé. Cette souplesse nous a notamment permis, contrairement aux travaux précédents sur ce sujet, de considérer des plasmas avec des particules sans masse.Notre étude débute par le cas des grandes dimensions d ≥ 4 où les effets dispersifs sont plus importants et permettent ainsi d'obtenir de meilleurs taux de décroissance sur les solutions du système et leurs dérivées. Une nouvelle inégalité de décroissance pour les solutions d'une équation de transport relativiste constitue d'ailleurs un élément central de la démonstration. Afin d'établir un résultat analogue dans le cas où les particules sont sans masse, nous avons dû imposer que le champ de Vlasov s'annule initialement pour les petites vitesses puis nous avons ensuite montré que cette hypothèse était nécessaire. Dans un second temps, nous nous intéressons au cas tridimensionnel avec des particules sans masse, où une étude plus poussée de la structure des équations sera nécessaire afin d'obtenir les taux de décroissance optimaux pour les composantes isotropes du champ électromagnétique, les moyennes en vitesse de la fonction de distribution et leurs dérivées. Nous nous concentrons ensuite sur l'étude du comportement asymptotique des solutions à données petites du système de Vlasov-Maxwell massif en dimension 3. Des difficultés spécifiques nous forcent à modifier les champs de vecteurs utilisés précédemment pour l'équation de transport dans le but de compenser les pires termes d'erreurs des équations commutées. Enfin, on considère le même problème en se restreignant à l'étude des solutions à l'extérieur d'un cône de lumière. Les fortes propriétés de décroissance vérifiées par la moyenne en vitesse de la densité de particules dans cette région nous permettent d'affaiblir les hypothèses sur les données initiales et d'avoir une démonstration considérablement plus simpleThe purpose of this thesis is to study the asymptotic properties of the small data solutions of the Vlasov-Maxwell system using vector field methods for both the electromagnetic field and the particle density. No compact support asumption is required on the initial data. Instead, we make crucial use of the null structure of the equations in order to deal with a resonant phenomenon caused by the particles approaching the speed of propagation of the Maxwell equations. Due to the robustness of vector field methods and contrary to previous works on this topic, we also study plasmas with massless particles.We start by investigating the high dimensional cases d ≥ 4 where dispersive effects allow us to derive strong decay rate on the solutions of the system and their derivatives. For that purpose, we proved a new decay estimate for solutions to massive relativistic transport equations. In order to obtain an analogous result for massless particles, we required the velocity support of the distribution function to be initially bounded away from $0$ and we then proved that this assumption is actually necessary. The second part of this thesis is devoted to the three dimensional massless case, where a stronger understanding of the null structure of the Vlasov-Maxwell system is essential in order to derive the optimal decay rate of the null components of the electromagnetic field, the velocity average of the particle density and their derivatives. We then focus on the asymptotic behavior of the small data solutions of the massive Vlasov-Maxwell system in 3d. Specific problems force us to modify the vector fields used previously to study the Vlasov field in order to compensate the worst error terms in the commuted transport equations. Finally, still for the massive system in 3d, we restrict our study of the solutions to the exterior of a light cone. The strong decay properties satisfied by the velocity average of the particle density in such a region permit us to relax the hypothesis on the initial data and lead to a much simpler proof

Cette thèse décrit comment les ondes électromagnétiques se propagent dans les plasmas magnétisés, lorsque les fréquences sollicitées sont proches de la fréquence électron cyclotron. Elle porte sur l’analyse mathématique des variétés caractéristiques qui sont associées à des systèmes de type Vlasov-Maxwell relativiste avec paramètres rapides.La première partie s’intéresse aux plasmas froids des magnétosphères planétaires. On explique comment obtenir les relations de dispersion dans le cas d’un dipôle magnétique. Cela conduit à l’étude détaillée de certaines variétés algébriques de l’espace cotangent : les cônes et les sphères dits ordinaires et extraordinaires. La description géométrique de ces cônes et de ces sphères donne accès à une classification complète des ondes électromagnétiques susceptibles de se propager. Diverses applications sont proposées, concernant l’équation eikonale et l’absence de propagation en mode parallèle, ou encore concernant la structure des ondes dites en mode siffleur.La seconde partie porte sur la modélisation des plasmas chauds, typiquement ceux qui sont mis en jeu dans les tokamaks. On prouve dans un contexte réaliste que la propagation des ondes électromagnétiques s’effectue au travers d’un tenseur dielectrique. Ce tenseur est obtenu via une analyse fine des résonances cinétiques qui sont issues des interactions entre les particules (Vlasov) et les ondes (Maxwell). Il s’exprime comme une somme infinie d’intégrales singulières, faisant intervenir l’opérateur de Hilbert. Le sens mathématique de la formule donnant accès à ce tenseur est rigoureusement justifiéThis thesis describes how electromagnetic waves propagate in magnetized plasmas, when the frequencies are in a range around the electron cyclotron frequency. It focuses on the mathematical analysis of the characteristic varieties which are associated with relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell systems involving fast parameters. The first part is concerned with cold plasmas issued from planetary magnetospheres. We explain how to obtain the dispersion relations in the case where the magnetic field is given by a dipole model. This leads to the detailed study of some algebraic varieties from the cotangent space: the so-called ordinary and extraordinary cones and spheres. The geometrical description of these cones and spheres gives access to a complete classification of the electromagnetic waves which can propagate. Various applications are proposed, concerning the eikonal equation and the absence of purely parallel propagation, or concerning the structure of whistler waves. The second part focuses on the modelling of hot plasmas, typically like those involved in tokamaks. We prove in a realistic context that the propagation of electromagnetic waves is governed by some dielectric tensor. This tensor is obtain via some careful analysis of the kinetic resonances, which are issued from the interactions between the particles (Vlasov) and the waves (Maxwell). It can be expressed as an infinite sum of singular integrals, involving the Hilbert transform. The mathematical meaning of the formula defining this tensor is rigorously justified

In particular, we obtain explicitly the wave equa-tion for photons of both helicities. For this purpose, we present first the formulation of the theory in Minkowski spacetime together with the homomorphism between SL(2;C) and the restricted Lorentz group.

The main objective of this study is to learn about the theory of electromagnetic field and to create a model of propagation of ultra short waves in a biological tissue. Next point of this paper is to determine a specific absorption rate (SAR) using a valid sanitary standard. A particular model solution was realized in a model environment of the program Comsol Multiphysics 3.5. A human head and a cellular phone with an intern antenna were successfully created in this model environment. First of all were entered appropriate parameters which led to a successful representation of the distribution of electric field intensity. A value of specific absorption rate taken by a biological tissue was determined in the next step. This value was compared to the value listed in a valid sanitary standard to prevent its overrun. A development of a temperature in a biological tissue was determined as well, according to a six minutes long interval stated in a valid sanitary standard.

Full textAbstract:
Humanitarian clearance of minefields is most often carried out by hand, conventionally using a a metal detector and a probe. Detection is a very slow process, as every piece of detected metal must treated as if it were a landmine and carefully probed and excavated, while many of them are not. The process can be safely sped up by use of Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) to image the subsurface, to verify metal detection results and safely ignore any objects which could not possibly be a landmine. In this thesis, we explore the possibility of using Full Wave Inversion (FWI) to improve GPR imaging for landmine detection. Posing the imaging task as FWI means solving the large-scale, non-linear and ill-posed optimisation problem of determining the physical parameters of the subsurface (such as electrical permittivity) which would best reproduce the data. This thesis begins by giving an overview of all the mathematical and implementational aspects of FWI, so as to provide an informative text for both mathematicians (perhaps already familiar with other inverse problems) wanting to contribute to the mine detection problem, as well as a wider engineering audience (perhaps already working on GPR or mine detection) interested in the mathematical study of inverse problems and FWI.We present the first numerical 3D FWI results for GPR, and consider only surface measurements from small-scale arrays as these are suitable for our application. The FWI problem requires an accurate forward model to simulate GPR data, for which we use a hybrid finite-element boundary-integral solver utilising first order curl-conforming N\'d\'{e}lec (edge) elements. We present a novel `line search' type algorithm which prioritises inversion of some target parameters in a region of interest (ROI), with the update outside of the area defined implicitly as a function of the target parameters. This is particularly applicable to the mine detection problem, in which we wish to know more about some detected metallic objects, but are not interested in the surrounding medium. We may need to resolve the surrounding area though, in order to account for the target being obscured and multiple scattering in a highly cluttered subsurface. We focus particularly on spatial sensitivity of the inverse problem, using both a singular value decomposition to analyse the Jacobian matrix, as well as an asymptotic expansion involving polarization tensors describing the perturbation of electric field due to small objects. The latter allows us to extend the current theory of sensitivity in for acoustic FWI, based on the Born approximation, to better understand how polarization plays a role in the 3D electromagnetic inverse problem. Based on this asymptotic approximation, we derive a novel approximation to the diagonals of the Hessian matrix which can be used to pre-condition the GPR FWI problem.

On détermine la géométrie et, ou le support des amortissements qui permettront de faire décroitre exponentiellement vite l'énergie du champ électromagnétique. On met en évidence numériquement, par le biais de rayons gaussiens, le lien entre le support des amortissements, la fréquence de l'onde et la décroissance de l'énergie du système des ondes.

Accurate modeling and simulation of wave propagation in dispersive dielectrics such as water, human tissue and sand, among others, has a variety of applications. For example in medical imaging, electromagnetic waves are used to interrogate human tissue in a non-invasive manner to detect anomalies that could be cancerous. In non-destructive evaluation of materials, such interrogation is used to detect defects in these materials.
In this thesis we present the construction and analysis of two novel operator splitting methods for Maxwell's equations in dispersive media of Debye type which are used to model wave propagation in polar materials like water and human tissue. We construct a sequential and a symmetrized operator splitting scheme which are first order, and second order, respectively, accurate in time. Both schemes are second order accurate in space. The operator splitting methods are shown to be unconditionally stable via energy techniques. Their accuracy and stability properties are compared to established schemes like the Yee or FDTD scheme and the Crank-Nicolson scheme. Finally, results of numerical simulations are presented that confirm the theoretical analysis.Graduation date: 2012

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, we consider four different stochastic partial differential equations. Firstly, we study stochastic Helmholtz equation driven by an additive white noise, in a bounded convex domain with smooth boundary of Rd (d = 2, 3). And then with the help of the perfectly matched layers technique, we also consider the stochastic scattering problem of Helmholtz type. The second part of this thesis is to investigate the time harmonic case for stochastic Maxwell's equations driven by an color noise in a simple medium, and then we expand the results to the stochastic Maxwell's equations in case of dispersive media in Rd (d = 2, 3). Thirdly, we study stochastic parabolic partial differential equation driven by space-time color noise, where the domain O is a bounded domain in R2 with boundary ∂O of class C2+alpha for 0 < alpha < 1/2. In the last part, we discuss the stochastic wave equation (SWE) driven by nonlinear noise in 1D case, where the noise 626x6t W(x, t) is the space-time mixed second-order derivative of the Brownian sheet.Many physical and engineering phenomena are modeled by partial differential equations which often contain some levels of uncertainty. The advantage of modeling using so-called stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) is that SPDEs are able to more fully capture interesting phenomena; it also means that the corresponding numerical analysis of the model will require new tools to model the systems, produce the solutions, and analyze the information stored within the solutions.
One of the goals of this thesis is to derive error estimates for numerical solutions of the above four kinds SPDEs. The difficulty in the error analysis in finite element methods and general numerical approximations for a SPDE is the lack of regularity of its solution. To overcome such a difficulty, we follow the approach of [4] by first discretizing the noise and then applying standard finite element methods and discontinuous Galerkin methods to the stochastic Helmholtz equation and Maxwell equations with discretized noise; standard finite element method to the stochastic parabolic equation with discretized color noise; Galerkin method to the stochastic wave equation with discretized white noise, and we obtain error estimates are comparable to the error estimates of finite difference schemes.
We shall focus on some SPDEs where randomness only affects the right-hand sides of the equations. To solve the four types of SPDEs using, for example, the Monte Carlo method, one needs many solvers for the deterministic problem with multiple right-hand sides. We present several efficient deterministic solvers such as flexible CG method and block flexible GMRES method, which are absolutely essential in computing statistical quantities.

September 2015The work presented contributes to research in lightning protection simulations and focuses on approximating the Heidler function with an analytical integral and hence a frequency domain representation. The integral of lightning current models is required in the analysis of lightning events including the induced effects and frequency analyses of lightning strikes. Previous work in this area has produced very specific forms of the Heidler function that are used to represent lightning current waveshapes. This work however focuses on a generic solution with parameters that can be modified to produce any lightning current waveshape that is required. In the research presented, such an approximation is obtained. This function has an analytical solution to the integral and hence can be completely represented in the frequency domain. This allows for a true representation of Maxwell’s equations for Electromagnetic (EM) fields and for an analytical frequency domain analysis. It has parameters that can be changed to obtain different waveshapes (10/350, 0.25/100, etc.). The characteristics of the approximation are compared with those of the Heidler function to ascertain whether or not the function is applicable for use with the lightning protection standard (IEC 62305-1). It is shown that the approximation does represent the same characteristics as those of the Heidler function and hence can be used in IEC 62305-1 standardised applications. This represents a valuable contribution to engineers working in the field of lightning protection, specifically simulation models.

Full textAbstract:
High-frequency wave phenomena is observed in many physical settings, most notably in acoustics, electromagnetics, and elasticity. In all of these fields, numerical simulation and modeling of the forward propagation problem is important to the design and analysis of many systems; a few examples which rely on these computations are the development of
metamaterial technologies and geophysical prospecting for natural resources. There are two modes of modeling the forward problem: the frequency domain and the time domain. As the title states, this work is concerned with the former regime.
The difficulties of solving the high-frequency wave propagation problem accurately lies in the large number of degrees of freedom required. Conventional wisdom in the computational electromagnetics commmunity suggests that about 10 degrees of freedom per wavelength be used in each coordinate direction to resolve each oscillation. If K is the width of the domain in wavelengths, the number of unknowns N grows at least by O(K^2) for surface discretizations and O(K^3) for volume discretizations in 3D. The memory requirements and asymptotic complexity estimates of direct algorithms such as the multifrontal method are too costly for such problems. Thus, iterative solvers must be used. In this dissertation, I will present fast algorithms which, in conjunction with GMRES, allow the solution of the forward problem in O(N) or O(N log N) time.text

Over the past several decades our understanding and meticulous characterization of the transient and spatial properties of materials evolved rapidly. The results present an exciting field for discovery, and craft materials to control and reshape light that we are just beginning to fathom. State-of-the-art nano-deposition processes, for example, can be utilized to build stratified waveguides made of thin dielectric layers, which put together result in a material with effective abnormal dispersion. Moreover, materials once deemed well known are revealing astonishing properties, v.gr. chalcogenide glasses undergo an atomic reconfiguration when illuminated with electrons or photons, this ensues in a temporal modification of its permittivity and permeability which could be used to build new Photonic Integrated Circuits..
This work revolves around the characterization and model of heterogeneous and time-varying materials and their applications, revisits Maxwell's equations in the context of nonlinear space- and time-varying media, and based on it introduces a numerical scheme that can be used to model waves in this kind of media. Finally some interesting applications for light confinement and beam transformations are shown.

This thesis presents the research results on the development of a microwave tomography imaging algorithm capable of reconstructing the dielectric properties of the unknown object. Our focus was on the theoretical aspects of the non-linear tomographic image reconstruction problem with particular emphasis on developing efficient numerical and non-linear optimization for solving the inverse scattering problem. A detailed description of a novel microwave tomography method based on frequency dependent finite difference time domain, a numerical method for solving Maxwell's equations and Genetic Algorithm (GA) as a global optimization technique is given. The proposed technique has the ability to deal with the heterogeneous and dispersive object with complex distribution of dielectric properties and to provide a quantitative image of permittivity and conductivity profile of the object. It is shown that the proposed technique is capable of using the multi-frequency, multi-view, and multi-incident planer techniques which provide useful information for the reconstruction of the dielectric properties profile and improve image quality. In addition, we show that when a-priori information about the object under test is known, it can be easily integrated with the inversion process. This provides realistic regularization of the solution and removes or reduces the possibility of non-true solutions.
We further introduced application of the GA such as binary-coded GA, real-coded GA, hybrid binary and real coded GA, and neural-network/GA for solving the inverse scattering problem which improved the quality of the images as well as the conversion rate. The implications and possible advantages of each type of optimization are discussed, and synthetic inversion results are presented. The results showed that the proposed algorithm was capable of providing the quantitative images, although more research is still required to improve the image quality. In the proposed technique the computation time for solution convergence varies from a few hours to several days. Therefore, the parallel implementation of the algorithm was carried out to reduce the runtime.
The proposed technique was evaluated for application in microwave breast cancer imaging as well as measurement data from university of Manitoba and Institut Frsenel's microwave tomography systems.
