Abstract

The integral equations of the first- and second-kind can be used to calculate the capacitance and charging of an arbitrary conductor. In this communication we discuss the relationship between these two formulations and their numerical implementations in terms of a spectral method. Also a relationship between the second-kind integral equation formulation of capacitance and a boundary integral equation method for calculation of surface plasmon resonances in metallic nanoparticles is established and a numerical example is analyzed.
