This work is concerned with the parallelization of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) for large scale electromagnetic simulations on distributed memory computers. We focus on techniques suited for low-cost clusters of workstations (COWs) and computational GRIDs. These consist of a number of nodes interconnected through a Gigabit Ethernet network and a fast switch. The algorithm is ...

The proposed theorem in this paper is indicative of a kind of duality in the propagation of waves in the dual media of and in the spherical structures. Independent of wave frequency, the number of layers, their thickness, and the type of polarization, this theorem holds true in case of any change in any of these conditions. Theorem: Consider a plane wave incident on a multilayered spheric...
