  2. Pseudo-Current MethodF[jz2] The Pseudo-Current Method of analysis minimizes the vertical electric current distribution using a non-linear least-square multi-dimensional minimization algorithm: F [jz2] /p =  [  jz2(x,y) dx dy] /p where  jz= By/x - Bx/y Acute Angle Rule wrt New Direction 212

  3. Generation of the Reference Field Potential Field + Pseudo Currents: Wires with cosine function profiles of variable width, location, and maximum current density as parameters - Pi=P[xi,yi,widthi,Jzimax] (xi,yi) Reference Field

  4. The Approach-Minimize F[jz2] Define the jz in terms of an ambiguity parameter i,j: F[jz2] = 2/4  j=2N-1 j= 2N-1 [ i+1,j yi+1,j |Byi+1,j| - i-1,j yi-1,j |Byi-1,j| - i,j+1 yi,j+1 |Bxi,j+1| + i,j-1 yi,j-1 |Bxi,j-1| ]2 i j Where  is the quadrant parameter  =(1,1) or (1,-1): i,j = Bxi, j Byi,j / ( |Bxi,j | |Byi,j | ) Bxi, j = i,j yi,j |Bxi,j| Byi, j = i,j yi,j |Byi,j| i,j = Ambiguity Parameter i,j i+1,j II I IV III
