- ItemAnalytical investigation of an integral equation method for electromagnetic scattering by biperiodic structures(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2013) Bugert, Beatrice; Schmidt, GuntherThis paper is concerned with the study of a new integral equation formulation for electromagnetic scattering by a 2π-biperiodic polyhedral Lipschitz profile. Using a combined potential ansatz, we derive a singular integral equation with Fredholm operator of index zero from time-harmonic Maxwell's equations and prove its equivalence to the electromagnetic scattering problem. Moreover, under certain assumptions on the electric permittivity and the magnetic permeability, we obtain existence and uniqueness results in the special case that the grating is smooth and, under more restrictive assumptions, in the case that the grating is of polyhedral Lipschitz regularity.
- ItemElectromagnetic scattering by biperiodic multilayered gratings: A recursive integral equation approach(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Bugert, Beatrice; Schmidt, GuntherIn this paper, we propose a new recursive integral equation algorithm to solve the direct problem of electromagnetic scattering by biperiodic multilayered structures with polyhedral Lipschitz regular interfaces. We work with a combined potential approach that involves one unknown density on each of the grating profiles of the multilayered scatterer. Justified by the transmission conditions of the underlying electromagnetic scattering problem, we assume that densities in adjacent layers are linearly linked by a boundary integral operator and derive a recursion for these densities. It comprehends the inversion of one boundary integral equation on each scattering interface. Our algorithm is shown to be equivalent to the biperiodic multilayered electromagnetic scattering problem. Moreover, we obtain new existence and uniqueness results for our recursive integral equation algorithm, which promises to lead to an efficient numerical implementation of the considered scattering problem. These solvability results depend on the regularity of the grating interfaces and the values of the electromagnetic material parameters of the biperiodic multilayered structure at hand.
- ItemAn integral equation approach for electromagnetic scattering by biperiodic structures(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Bugert, BeatriceThe objective of this paper is the analytical investigation of an integral equation formulation for electromagnetic scattering by 2π-biperiodic multilayered structures with polyhedral Lipschitz regular interfaces. Extending the combined potential ansatz from Preprint No. 1882 for the electric fields in the before mentioned electromagnetic scattering problem from single to N profile scattering yields an equivalent system of N integral equations. We present a uniqueness and two existence results for this system depending on the values of the electromagnetic material parameters of the considered biperiodic scatterer. This in particular includes the proof that the system of integral equations is of zero Fredholm index. The general case that the grating interfaces are of polyhedral Lipschitz regularity requires more strict assumptions than the special case of smooth grating interfaces. We exploit the solvability results of this work in a subsequent paper featuring a recursive integral equation algorithm for the 2π-biperiodic multilayered electromagnetic scattering problem.
