Analysis of Electromagnetic Scattering from Large Arrays of Cylinders via a Hybrid of the Method of Auxiliary Sources (MAS) with the Fast Multipole Method (FMM)

The Method of Auxiliary Sources (MAS) is an established technique for the numerical solution electromagnetic (EM) scattering and radiation problems. This paper presents a hybrid MAS with Fast Multipole (FMM), which provides strategy reducing computational cost solving large-scale problems without notable accuracy loss (and in reasonable time). MAS-FMM scheme applied to problem EM from arbitrarily large array lossless/lossy dielectric cylinders. Numerical results are presented verify schemes, as well illuminate improvements stemming proposed hybridization (especially ones regarding associated complexity cost). A few concluding remarks offer summary this work, along list possible future extensions.
