Description
Summary:Integral equations that are used to study electromagnetic problems generate dense matrices when solved by the moment method. The use of a wavelet multiresolution analysis basis is presented to allow for thinning (removing the smallest matrix elements) the matrix to produce a sparse form. The wavelet basis is implemented in the moment method matrix equation by direct expansion and application of the discrete wavelet transform. A comparison of different wavelets in the discrete wavelet transform implementation of a wavelet multiresolution analysis basis in the solution of the matrix equation is conducted. The lower/upper decomposition direct solution method and the iterative biconjugate gradient method are used to solve the matrix equations.
