| Type | Lecture |
| Semester | Summer |
| Language | German or English |
| Content | Students understand the theoretical and numerical fundamentals of circuit simulation and how the equations can be derived from Maxwell's equations. Circuit properties can be expressed in tems of graph theory. The sparse systems of equations such as the flux/charge oreinted modified nodal analysis can be assembled. In order to solve the obtained systems, different numerical methods for the simulation of circuits are relevant. This includes methods for the solution of linear systems (direct and iterative solvers), root-finding algorithms for nonlinear systems and implicit time integration methods. Mathematical concepts such as stability, convergence order or complexity are known and can be employed to judge the advantages and disadvantages of the various methods. Eventually, the students are able to programm their own circuit simulator, that can return both frequency as well as time domain solutions of electric networks. |

| Content | The Boundary Element Method (BEM) has developed into an important alternative to domain-oriented approaches (like Finite Elements), ever since fast implementations are available. The BEM reduces the dimensionality of the problem and can easily take into account unbounded domains. Starting from the representation formulas of Kirchhoff and Stratton-Chu boundary integral equations are derived. Next, their discretization by collocation and Galerkin methods is discussed. The resulting fully populated matrices have to be compressed for practical applications, by Fast Multipole or Adaptive Cross Approximation methods. Practical examples for application of the BEM are considered, for instance acoustic and electromagnetic scattering problems, and thermal analysis. Programming homework will be assigned, to deepen the students' understanding of the contents. |
