Abstract
- The sub-domain decomposition iterative method (SDIM) is presented to solve efficiently a large linear system obtained by sampling the boundary integral equations from the method of moments. Then, this new technique is tested on the electromagnetic scattering problem from a large highly conducting one-dimensional rough sea surface. The diagonal blocks are the local impedance matrices corresponding to the geometry sub-domains while the off-diagonal blocks are the coupling matrices describing the interaction between two different sub-domains. The principle of SDIM is to invert the impedance matrix by blocks reducing significantly the complexity in comparison to a direct LU inversion of the whole impedance matrix. In addition, to accelerate the matrix-vector products and to reduce the memory requirement, the adaptive cross approximation (ACA) is applied to compress the sub-domain coupling matrices. For microwave frequencies, the results show that SDIM converges rapidly and faster for the TM polarization. Moreover, the mean compression ratio of ACA is of the order of 98%, which makes this method very efficient. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
