Abstract

A fast solution for the electromagnetic scattering by inhomogeneous objects is presented. The method is based on a locally corrected Nystrom solution of the volume electric field integral equation. The matrix-vector multiplication is accelerated via the quadrature sampled precorrected FFT (QSPCFFT) (Gedney, S.D. et al., 2003). The QSPCFFT method preserves the high-order properties of the Nystrom solution, and has a complexity that scales as O(N log N) and memory that scales as O(N).
