Abstract:
The Bubnov–Galerkin method based on spline wavelets is used to solve singular integral equations. For the resulting systems of linear algebraic equations, the properties of their coefficient matrices are examined. Sparse approximations of these matrices are constructed by applying a cutting barrier. The results are used to numerically analyze thin wire antennas. Numerical results are presented.
Key words:wavelets, singular integral equations, sparse matrix techniques, thin wire antennas, Bubnov–Galerkin method, properties of coefficient matrices of systems of linear algebraic equations.
