  2. Computational Electromagnetics Electromagnetic problems are mostly described by three methods: Differential Equations (DE)  Finite difference (FD, FDTD) Integral Equations (IE)  Method of Moments (MoM) Minimization of a functional (VM)  Finite Element (FEM) Theoretical effort less more Computational effort more less

  3. Numerical Differentiation“FINITE DIFFERENCES”

  4. Conventional Calculus The operation of diff. of a function is a well-defined procedure The operations highly depend on the form of the function involved Many different types of rules are needed for different functions For some complex function it can be very difficult to find closed form solutions Numerical differentiation Is a technique for approximating the derivative of functions by employing only arithmetic operations (e.g., addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) Commonly known as “finite differences” Introduction to differentiation

  5. y f(x) xi x f(xi) Taylor Series Problem: For a smooth function f(x), Given: Values of f(xi) and its derivatives at xi Find out: Value of f(x) in terms of f(xi), f(xi), f(xi), ….

  6. Taylor’s Theorem If the function f and its n+1 derivatives are continuous on an interval containing xiand x, then the value of the function f at x is given by

  33. FINITE DIFFERENCE ELECTROSTATICS Electrostatics deals with voltages and charges that do no vary as a function of time. Poisson’s equation Laplace’s equation Where, F is the electrical potential (voltage), r is the charge density and e is the permittivity.

  34. F3 Fo F2 F1 FINITE DIFFERENCE ELECTROSTATICS: Example Find F(x,y) inside the box due to the voltages applied to its boundary. Then find the electric field strength in the box.
