A fast multipole approach to computing scattering from an inhomogeneous bianisotropic cylindrical object using Beltrami fields

There has been growing interest in the electromagnetic analysis of complex materials. Analysis of scattering from bianisotropic objects is attractive from both practical and intellectual perspectives. Furthermore, tailoring the properties of bianisotropic materials to specific needs is not altogether inconceivable due to the advances in materials technology. We present an efficient algorithm for analyzing the scattering from an inhomogeneous bianisotropic cylinder. The analysis presented provides a framework via which a wide variety of problems can be solved.
