Abstract

This paper considers the solution of the combined field integral equation (CFIE) for lossy/dielectric problems. Hierarchical conforming bases are developed which are subsequently used in the construction of a multilevel Schwarz type preconditioner. The effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated by the computation of scattering in free space from a range of spheres with different permittivity (non PEC material). The resulting schemes are shown to be faster than conventional schemes.
