On a group-theoretical approach to the curl operator
نویسندگان
چکیده
We utilize group-theoretical methods to develop a matrix representation of differential operators that act on tensors of any rank. In particular, we concentrate on the matrix formulation of the curl operator. A self-adjoint matrix of the curl operator is constructed and its action is extended to a complex plane. This scheme allows us to obtain properties, similar to those of the traditional curl operator.

Constructing a Mimetic Curl using Gauss’ Theorem
The common way to define a curl operator considers Stoke’s Theorem and the concept of circulation. Common numerical discretizations for this operator also use this approach. In this work, we revisit the construction of the curl operator using an extended form of Gauss’ Divergence Theorem instead. This new approach allows us to present a discretization framework that naturally inherits all the d...
متن کاملA Novel Algebraic Multigrid-Based Approach for Maxwell’s Equations
This paper presents a new algebraic multigrid-based method for solving the curl-curl formulation of Maxwell’s equations discretized with edge elements. The ultimate goal of this approach is two-fold. The first is to produce a multiple-coarsening multigrid method with two approximately decoupled hierarchies branching off at the initial coarse level, one resolving the divergence-free error and th...
متن کاملMixed Discontinuous Galerkin Approximation of the Maxwell Operator
We present and analyze an interior penalty method for the numerical discretization of the indefinite time-harmonic Maxwell equations in mixed form. The method is based on the mixed discretization of the curl-curl operator developed in [Houston et al., J. Sci. Comp. 22 (2005) 325–356] and can be understood as a non-stabilized variant of the approach proposed in [Perugia et al., Comput. Methods A...
متن کاملMULTI-ATTRIBUTE DECISION MAKING METHOD BASED ON BONFERRONI MEAN OPERATOR and possibility degree OF INTERVAL TYPE-2 TRAPEZOIDAL FUZZY SETS
This paper proposes a new approach based on Bonferroni mean operator and possibility degree to solve fuzzy multi-attribute decision making (FMADM) problems in which the attribute value takes the form of interval type-2 fuzzy numbers. We introduce the concepts of interval possibility mean value and present a new method for calculating the possibility degree of two interval trapezoidal type-2 fuz...
متن کاملCurl Size and Pelt Color Determination of Zandi Lambs Using Image Processing and Artificial Neural Network
In this study, a method based on using image processing and artificial neural network is introduced to determine pelt color and curl size of newborn lambs in Zandi sheep. The data was collected from 300 newborn lambs reared in the Zandi sheep breeding centre of Khojir, Tehran. Primarily, curl size and pelt color of new born lambs was recorded by experienced appraisers, and at the same time, sev...
