    A new method for the source localization in sectionally homogeneous bounded domains involving finitely many inner interfaces of arbitrary shapes
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science, 2001-05) İdemen, Mehmet Mithat; Alkumru, Ali
    A new method to localize a static point source buried in a nonhomogeneous bounded domain composed of finitely many homogeneous parts separated by interfaces of arbitrary shapes was established. The source can be a simple point charge or current or a dipole of them. The method requires only the knowledge of the potential function Phi (x, y, z) at five or six points on the outermost interface depending on whether the source is simple or dipole. The new and basic feature of the method consists of determining the potential function Phi (0)(x, y, z) which would be observed if the whole space was filled with a homogeneous material. Then, in the case of a simple source, the position P-0 as well as the strengths can be determined, in general, by solving a system of three linear algebraic equations. When the source consists of a dipole, its position P-0 and moment (p) over right arrow can be found by solving a system of six nonlinear algebraic equations. The determination of Phi (0) P-0 and s (or (p) over right arrow) is achieved iteratively by solving the above-mentioned algebraic equations along with a singular integral equation satisfied by Phi (0) Some illustrative examples show the applicability and accuracy of the method. The method can have effective applications in heat conduction, matter diffusion, electrostatics, steady-state current flow, electroencephalography, electrocardiography, etc.

    On a class of functional equations of the Wiener-Hopf type and their applications in n-part scattering problems
    (Oxford Univ Press, 2003-12) İdemen, Mehmet Mithat; Alkumru, Ali
    An asymptotic theory for the functional equation K-phi=f, where K : X-->Y stands for a matrix-valued linear operator of the form K=K1P1+K2P2+...+KnPn, is developed. Here X and Y refer to certain Hilbert spaces, {P-alpha} denotes a partition of the unit operator in X while K-alpha are certain operators from X to Y. One assumes that the partition {P-alpha} as well as the operators K-alpha depend on a complex parameter nu such that all K-alpha are multi-valued around certain branch points at nu=k(+) and nu=k(-) while the inverse operators K-alpha(-1) exist and are bounded in the appropriately cut nu-plane except for certain poles. Then, for a class of {P-alpha} having certain analytical properties, an asymptotic solution valid for \k(+/-)\-->infinity is given. The basic idea is the decomposition of phi into a sum of projections on n mutually orthogonal subspaces of X. The results can be extended in a straightforward manner to the cases of no or more branch points. If there is no branch point or n=2, then the results are all exact. The theory may have effective applications in solving some direct and inverse multi-part boundary-value problems connected with high-frequency waves. An illustrative example shows the applicability as well as the effectiveness of the method.

    Scattering of electromagnetic waves by a rectangular impedance cylinder
    (Elsevier Science, 2000-04) Topsakal, Erdem; Büyükaksoy, İbrahim Alinur; İdemen, Mehmet Mithat
    A uniformly valid asymptotic solution is developed for the diffraction of a high-frequency wave by an infinitely long rectangular cylinder having different impedance walls. The incident wave is generated by a line source located parallel to the cylinder. The problem is reduced first to a system of modified Wiener-Hopf equations involving infinitely many unknown constants and then to a couple of infinite system of linear algebraic equations which are solved numerically. Explicit expressions of the dominant wave components existing in different regions are found. Some illustrative examples show the capability of the approach.

    Diffraction of two-dimensional high-frequency electromagnetic waves by a locally perturbed two-part impedance plane
    (Elsevier Science BV, 2005-06) İdemen, Mehmet Mithat; Alkumru, Ali
    During the second half of the last century mixed boundary-value problems had been an appealing research subject for both mathematicians and engineers. Among this kind of problems those connected with wave propagation in half-spaces or slabs bounded by sectionally homogeneous boundaries took an important place because they were motivated by microwave applications. The simplest problem of this kind is the classical two-part problem which can be reduced to a functional equation involving two unknown functions, say psi(+)(v) and psi(-)(v), which are regular in the upper and lower halves of the complex v-plane, respectively. This functional equation can be rigorously treated by the Wiener-Hopf technique. When the boundary consists of three (or more) parts, the resulting functional equation involves also an entire function, say P(v), in addition to psi(+)(v) and psi(-)(v), which makes the problem not solvable exactly. A local (non-homogeneous) perturbation on a two-part boundary, which is of extreme importance from engineering point of view, gives also rise to a problem of this type. The known methods established to overcome the difficulties inherent to the three-part problems are based on the elimination of the entire function P(v) first to obtain a linear system of two singular integral equations for psi(+) and psi(-). After having determined the functions psi(+)(v) and psi(-)(v) by solving this system of integral equations numerically, the function P(v) is found from the functional equation in question. Numerical solutions to the aforementioned system, which need rather hard computations, cannot provide results which are suitable to physical interpretations. The aim of the present paper is to establish a new method which is based, conversely, on the elimination of the unknown functions psi(+)(v) and psi(-)(v) first to obtain a linear integral equation of the first kind for the entire function P(v), which can be solved rather easily by regularized numerical methods. Then the functions psi(+)(v) and psi(-)(v) are determined through the classical Wiener-Hopf technique. The result to be obtained by this approach seems to be more suitable to physical interpretations and permits one to reveal the effect of the perturbation on the scattered wave. Some illustrative examples show the applicability and effectiveness of the method.

    Confluent tip singularity of the electromagnetic field at the apex of a material cone
    (Elsevier Science, 2003-09) İdemen, Mehmet Mithat
    The tip singularity of the electromagnetic field at the apex of a cone (conical sheet) is investigated in its most general framework. To this end one considers, without loss of generality, a circularly symmetric cone which separates two simple media having different constitutive parameters, and tries to reveal the asymptotic behaviour of the electromagnetic field created near the apex of the cone by any rotationally symmetric source distribution. To cover various boundary conditions which are extensively used in actual investigations, the cone is supposed to be formed by an infinitely thin material sheet having its own constitutive parameters. The results show that the type and order of the singularity depend, in general, on various parameters such as (i) the apex angle of the cone, (ii) the constitutive parameters of the mediums separated by the cone, (iii) the constitutive parameters of the material cone itself and (iv) the topology of the conical surface. The problem of determining the order in question gives rise to a transcendental algebraic equation involving the Legendre functions of the first kind with complex orders. If the order is a simple root of this equation, then the singularity is always of the algebraic typed whereas a multiple root gives rise also to logarithmic singularities. A numerical method suitable to find a good approximate solution to this equation is also established. Since the general expressions of the boundary conditions on the material cone, which, are compatible with both the Maxwell equations and the topology of the cone, are not known, an attempt has also been made to derive these expressions. Some examples concerning the boundary conditions which are extensively considered in actual investigations are given.

    Influence of the velocity on the energy patterns of moving scatterers
    (Taylor & Francis, 2004) İdemen, Mehmet Mithat; Alkumru, Ali
    Parallel to the developments in the communication through space vehicles achieved during the last two decades, the scattering problems connected with moving objects became more and more important from both theoretical and practical points of view. Same problems are also arisen in point of space science, radio astronomy, radar techniques and particle physics. The earlier investigations available in the open literature concern the analysis of the scattered field pattern and, hence, treat the polarization, frequency shift (Doppler effect), aberration, etc, which are all important from both pure scientific and technological points of view. But, another issue which is also important in regard to the communication, antennas and particle physics is the influence of the motion on the scattered energy patterns which involves the radar cross-section and scattering coefficient. This paper is devoted to this purpose and aims to study the influence of the velocity on the received and scattered energies. Notice that the scattered wave is not time-harmonic even though the incident wave is so because the Lorentz transformation formulas interrelate the space coordinates and time, which makes impossible to extend the notion of radar cross-section to moving bodies. For the sake of simplicity of the mathematical manipulations, only two-dimensional case is taken into account but the method can be adapted by straightforward extensions to other types of scatterer.

    Confluent edge conditions for the electromagnetic wave at the edge of a wedge bounded by material sheets
    (Elsevier Science, 2000-07) İdemen, Mehmet Mithat
    The edge conditions which dictate the asymptotic behaviour of the electromagnetic field near the edges play a crucial role in solving boundary-value problems involving boundaries having edges. In analytical studies they permit one to determine some unknown functions while in numerical investigations they enable one to improve the convergence of some processes by introducing beforehand the edge singularities into the field functions. In spite of its importance, the subject has not yet been studied sufficiently and accurately for new types of boundary conditions which are important for practical applications. This work is devoted to the analysis of wedge configurations bounded by material sheets having different constitutive parameters. The cases where the electric or the magnetic field is parallel to the edge are considered separately. It is shown that for each of these cases 81 physically different configurations are possible. However, from mathematical point of view all these configurations can be reduced only to nine canonical types. These canonical types are investigated in full detail by introducing the confluence concept which permits one to reveal also the logarithmic singularities, if any.

    Derivation of the Lorentz transformation from the Maxwell equations
    (VSP BV, Brill Academic Publishers, 2005) İdemen, Mehmet Mithat
    The Special Theory of Relativity had been established nearly one century ago to conciliate some seemingly contradictory concepts and experimental results such as the Ether, universal time, contraction of dimensions of moving bodies, absolute motion of the Earth, speed of the light, etc. Hence the fundamental revolutionary formulas of the Theory, i.e., the Lorentz Formulas, had been derived first by Einstein by dwelling on a postulate which stipulated the constancy of the speed of the light. To this end he had first postulated that every reference system has a time proper to itself and then redefined the notions of simultaneity, synchronous clocks, time interval, the length of a rod in a system at rest, the length in a moving system, etc. A second postulate of Einstein, which stated that every physical theory is invariant under the Lorentz transformation, enabled him to claim that the Theory of Electromagnetism is correct but the Newtonian Mechanics has to be re-established. Since then the Theory was almost always presented in this way by both Einstein and others except only a few. The aim of this paper is to show that the Lorentz formulas can be derived from the Maxwell equations if one pstulates that the total electric charge of an isolated body does not change if it is in motion. To this end one dwells only on the permanence principle of functional equations, which is not a physical but purely mathematical concept. Thus, from one side the Special Relativity becomes a natural issue (or a part) of the Maxwell Theory and, from the other side, the derivation of the transformation rules pertinent to the electromagnetic field becomes straightforward and easy.

    A generalization of the Wiener-Hopf approach to direct and inverse scattering problems connected with non-homogeneous half-spaces bounded by n-part boundaries
    (Oxford Univ Press, 2000-08) İdemen, Mehmet Mithat; Alkumru, Ali
    The classical Wiener-Hopf method connected with mixed two-part boundary-value problems is generalized to cover n-part boundaries. To this end one starts from an ad-hoc representation for the Green function, which involves n unknown functions having certain analytical properties. Thus the problem is reduced to a functional equation involving n unknowns, which constitutes a generalization of the classical Wiener-Hopf equation in two unknowns. To solve this latter which cannot be solved exactly when n greater than or equal to 3, one establishes a new method permitting one to obtain the asymptotic expressions valid when the wavelength is sufficiently small as compared with the widths of the inner strips of the boundary. The essentials of the method are elucidated through a concrete inverse scattering problem whose aim is to determine the constitutive electromagnetic parameters of a slab and a half-space bounded by an n-part impedance plane. Some illustrative numerical examples show the applicability as well as the accuracy of the method.
