Linear-in-Complexity Computational Strategies for Modeling and Dosimetry at TeraHertz
This work presents a fast direct solver strategy allowing full-wave modeling
and dosimetry at terahertz (THz) frequencies. The novel scheme leverages a
preconditioned combined field integral equation together with a regularizer for
its elliptic spectrum to enable its compression into a non-hierarchical
skeleton, invertible in quasi-linear complexity. Numerical results will show
the effectiveness of the new scheme in a realistic skin modeling scenario

On a Calder\'on preconditioner for the symmetric formulation of the electroencephalography forward problem without barycentric refinements
We present a Calder\'on preconditioning scheme for the symmetric formulation
of the forward electroencephalographic (EEG) problem that cures both the dense
discretization and the high-contrast breakdown. Unlike existing Calder\'on
schemes presented for the EEG problem, it is refinement-free, that is, the
electrostatic integral operators are not discretized with basis functions
defined on the barycentrically-refined dual mesh. In fact, in the
preconditioner, we reuse the original system matrix thus reducing computational
burden. Moreover, the proposed formulation gives rise to a symmetric,
positive-definite system of linear equations, which allows the application of
the conjugate gradient method, an iterative method that exhibits a smaller
computational cost compared to other Krylov subspace methods applicable to
non-symmetric problems. Numerical results corroborate the theoretical analysis
and attest of the efficacy of the proposed preconditioning technique on both
canonical and realistic scenarios
A New Refinement-Free Preconditioner for the Symmetric Formulation in Electroencephalography
Widely employed for the accurate solution of the electroencephalography
forward problem, the symmetric formulation gives rise to a first kind,
ill-conditioned operator ill-suited for complex modelling scenarios. This work
presents a novel preconditioning strategy based on an accurate spectral
analysis of the operators involved which, differently from other
Calder\'on-based approaches, does not necessitate the barycentric refinement of
the primal mesh (i.e., no dual matrix is required). The discretization of the
new formulation gives rise to a well-conditioned, symmetric, positive-definite
system matrix, which can be efficiently solved via fast iterative techniques.
Numerical results for both canonical and realistic head models validate the
effectiveness of the proposed formulation
