Results of benchmark tests for different numerical BPM algorithms

Abstract

Some key results of a benchmark test, initiated in 1992 by the Working Group 2 of COST Project 240 at a modelling workshop in Teupitz, Germany, are presented. A great number of BPM algorithms, such as the FTBPM, various types of FDBPMs, wide angle approximations and adaptive FE-BPM are compared. The quasi-analytic character of the benchmark tests gains a deeper insight into the absolute accuracy.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
