Fast solution methods in electromagnetics

Various methods for efficiently solving electromagnetic problems are presented, Electromagnetic scattering problems can be roughly classified into surface and volume problems, while fast methods are either differential or integral equation based, The resultant systems of linear equations are either solved directly or iteratively, A review of various differential equation solvers, their complexities, and memory requirements is given, The issues of grid dispersion and hybridization with integral equation solvers are discussed, Several fast integral equation solvers for surface and volume scatterers are presented, These solvers have reduced computational complexities and memory requirements.
