Abstract :
The dyadic Green´s functions arising from the Method of Moments (MoM) discretization for problems involving layered media require the computation of costly Sommerfeld integrals. Here we propose a scheme to efficiently interpolate the regularized Green´s functions by means of a first-order extraction of the singularities. The interpolation scheme is performed in a barycentric coordinate system, which further improves its efficiency. Numerical experiments are presented in order to show the effectiveness of the approach in reducing the matrix filling time.
