Generalized combined field integral equations for the iterative solution of the three-dimensional Maxwell equations (Q2371065)

The paper is devoted to the construction of second kind Fredholm integral equations for the numerical solution of problems of high-frequency electromagnetic scattering by a perfect conductor. The main goal is to provide integral equations with a condition number independent of the mesh refinement and the high-frequency parameters. In view of this, the authors propose two families of integral equations which can be seen as generalizations of the Brakhage-Werner approach and of the combined field integral equations. A corresponding spectral study is presented for the spherical geometry case.
