Hybrid methods for computational electromagnetics in the frequency domain
Abstract: In this thesis we study hybrid numerical methods to be usedin computational electromagnetics. We restrict the methods tospectral domain and scattering problems. The hybrids consist ofcombinations of Boundary Element Methods and Geometrical Theoryof Diffraction.In the thesis three hybrid methods will be presented. Onemethod has been developped from a theoretical idea to anindustrial code. The two other methods will be presented mainlyfrom a theoretical perspective. We will also give shortintroductions to the Boundary Element Method and theGeometrical Theory of Diffraction from a theoretical andimplementational point of view.Keywords:Maxwell?s equations, Geometrical Theoryof Diffraction, Boundary Element Method, Hybrid methods,Electromagnetic Scattering
