Abstract :
The method of moments (MoM) is compared with the generalized multipole technique (GMT), which has been shown to be very efficient. Although the GMT can be considered to be a variant of the MoM, it is based on a completely different philosophical foundation. Both the foundation and concrete implementations are considered. It is shown how the MMP code, based on the GMT, can profit from MoM concepts, and how MoM codes can profit from GMT ideas.<>
