We evaluate the performance and statistical accuracy of the fast Fourier transform method for unconditional and conditional simulation. The method is applied under difficult but realistic circumstances of a large field (1001 by 1001 points) with abundant conditioning criteria and a band limited, anisotropic, fractal-based statistical characterization (the von Kármán model). The simple Fourier u...

Up to now, no consensus exists about the electronic nature of phosphorus (P) as donor for SiO2-embedded silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs). Here, we report on hybrid density functional theory (h-DFT) calculations of P in the SiNC/SiO2 system matching our experimental findings. Relevant P configurations within SiNCs, at SiNC surfaces, within the sub-oxide interface shell and in the SiO2 matrix were ev...

A critical procedure in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Interferometric (InSAR) processing was studied: SAR image coregistration. Two pairs of ERS-1/2 SAR tandem data, representing diverse terrain types and different baselines, were used in this research. The commonly used traditional SAR image coregistration algorithms were addressed and tested; the computationally intensive algorithms were exa...

Planar D-bar integral equation is one of the inverse scattering solution methods for complex problems including inverse conductivity considered in applications such as Electrical impedance tomography (EIT). Recently two different methodologies are considered for the numerical solution of D-bar integrals equation, namely product integrals and multigrid. The first one involves high computational ...

In this paper, a numerical solution for a system of linear Fredholm integro-differential equations by means of the sinc method is considered. This approximation reduces the system of integro-differential equations to an explicit system of algebraic equations. The exponential convergence rate $O(e^{-k sqrt{N}})$ of the method is proved. The analytical results are illustrated with numerical examp...

In this article we illustrate some novel procedures of using Sinc methods to compute solutions to three types of medical problems. The rst of these is a novel way to solve optimal control problems. the second is a novel way to reconstruct images for X-ray tomography, and the third is a novel way to do ultrasonic tomography inversion. Each of these procedures uses Sinc convolution, which is a no...

A novel printed antenna resembling a truncated SINC function is proposed for wireless communications. The proposed antenna functions either as a twisted dipole or two twisted back-to-back connected L-shape dipoles depending on the current mode. Due to the symmetry, the antenna supports an even or odd mode of current on the antenna and results in different design and performance considerations. ...
