A Fast High-Order Solver for EM Scattering from Complex Penetrable Bodies: TE Case

Page 1862.

Abstract:

We present a new high-order integral algorithm for the solution of scattering problems by heterogeneous bodies under TE radiation. Here, a scatterer is represented by a (continuously or discontinuously) varying refractive index n(x) within a two-dimensional (2-D) bounded region; solutions of the associated Helmholtz equation under given incident fields are then obtained by high-order inversion of the Lippmann-Schwinger integral equation. The algorithm runs in O(N log(N)) operations, where N is the number of discretization points. Our method provides highly accurate solutions in short computing times, even for problems in which the scattering bodies contain complex geometric singularities.
