A new second order time stepping ensemble hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin method for parameterized convection diffusion PDEs with various initial and boundary conditions, body forces, and time depending coefficients is developed. For ensemble solutions in L ∞ (0, T ; L 2 (Ω)), a superconvergent rate with respect to the freedom degree of the globally coupled unknowns for all the polynomials of degree k ≥ 0 is established. The results of numerical experiments are consistent with the theoretical findings.
Monte Carlo simulations of microstrip lines with random substrate impurity are performed. Each realization of current distribution on the microstrip line with substrate impurity is calculated by the hybrid finite element method/multilevel fast multipole algorithm. After taking the ensemble average of all the realizations, the super-resolution estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance technique algorithm is employed to extract the characteristic parameters of the transmission line from the current distribution. Comparisons of our numerical results and previously published results for the conventional microstrip line with homogeneous substrate confirm the validity, accuracy, and efficiency of our simulation tool. Our Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate that the effect of substrate impurity on the characteristics of a microstrip line can be quite accurately estimated by replacing the inhomogeneous substrate with a homogeneous one whose dielectric constant is the averaged value for different materials weighted by their volume ratios. This simple estimation approach, however, does not apply to the attenuation constant of the line due to the effect of finite substrate width.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
