Analysis of a Fortran Program for Computing Electric Field Distributions in Heterogeneous Penetrable Nonmagnetic Bodies of Arbitrary Shape through Application of Tensor Green's Functions.

Abstract

An integral equation whose solution is the electromagnetic field induced in a heterogeneous, penetrable, nonmagnetic body--e.g., a biological body--by an external source is derived and approximated by a linear equation for computer implementation. A computer program for carrying out the discrete approximation of the integral equation is described. The use of symmetry groups in saving computer storage is explained. The scattering of a plane wave by a homogeneous ball is analyzed by this program and the results are compared with those produced by a computer program that implements the Mie solution. (Author)
