Abstract :
The multilevel fast multipole algorithm has been applied for solving volume integral equations. Tetrahedron volume cells are used to discretize the material objects, providing a flexible representation for complex object shapes. Due to the reduction of the computational complexity, the method can be applied to solve electromagnetic scattering problems with electrically large dielectrics.
