Application of a Nystrom Method to Solving 3-D Electromagnetic Interior Scattering Problems

Abstract

In studying interior scattering problems of electromagnetic waves in biological systems, it is natural to consider finite inhomogeneous models in 3-space. With the advent of ever-increasing computing power and noval computer architecture for parallel processing, integral equation formulations of the problem have become viable alternatives to more traditional finite difference or finite element approaches. This report describes a generalization of the classical Nystrom Method to solving 3-D electromagnetic interior scattering problems using an iterated integral method.
