Accurate and conforming mixed discretization of the chiral müller equation

Scattering of time-harmonic fields by chiral objects can be modeled by a second kind boundary integral equation, similar to Müller´s equation for scattering by nonchiral penetrable objects. In this contribution, a mixed discretization scheme for the chiral Müller equation is introduced using both Rao-Wilton-Glisson and Buffa-Christiansen funtions. It is shown that this mixed discretization yields more accurate solutions than classical discretizations, and that they can be computed in a limited number of iterations using Krylov type solvers.
