10.2 Basic Steps in Method of Moments Method of Moments (MoM) transforms
integro-differential equations into matrix systems of linear equations
which can be solved using computers
Consider the following inhomogeneous equation

where L is a linear integro-differential operator,
u is an unknown function (to be solved) and
k is a known function (excitation)

10.2 Basic Steps in Method of Moments Methods for calculating inverse of a matrix
Seldom find the inverse of matrix directly , because, if we have ill-conditioned matrices,
it can give highly erroneous results

using the singular value decomposition
For a matrix equation of the form AX=B,
if small changes in B leads to large changes in the solution X, then we call A is ill-conditioned
8/10/2019 programacion momentos

10.2 Basic Steps in Method of Moments The condition number of a matrix is the
ratio of the largest singular value of a matrix to the smallest
singular value
Larger is this condition value
1/3/2014Electromagnetic Field Theory by R. S. Kshetrimayum15
It is always
greater than or equal to 1
If it is close to one,
the matrix is well conditioned
which means its inverse can be computed with good accuracy
8/10/2019 programacion momentos
16/101
10.2 Basic Steps in Method of Moments If the condition number is large,
then the matrix is said to be ill-conditioned
Practically,
such a matrix is almost singular, and

10.2 Basic Steps in Method of Moments Sometimes pseudo inverse is also used for finding
approximate solutions to ill-conditioned matrices

10.3 Introductory examples from electrostatics In electrostatics, the problem of finding the potential
due to a given charge distribution is often considered
In practical scenario, it is very difficult to specify a charge distribution
We usually connect a conductor to a voltage source
1/3/2014Electromagnetic Field Theory by R. S. Kshetrimayum29
and thus the voltage on the conductor is specified We will consider MoM
to solve for the electric charge distribution
when an electric potential is specified

The graph of Z21 (dashed line) versus number of sub-sections
is a straight line
so any number of sub-sections between 5 and 100 should givethe same result

This shows that at higher values of number of sub-sections,
we will get a more convergent result
