Abstract
This paper describes a simple physically-motivated near-field preconditioning scheme that is effective in accelerating convergence of surface, volume, and combined surface/volume integral equations for a broad variety of electromagnetic scattering problems. It can be easily implemented numerically in method of moment (MoM) solvers (both conventional and those employing matrix-compression techniques), irrespective of the analytical form of the integral-equation kernel. It has low memory and CPU requirements, both of which scale linearly with the number of unknowns, and is easily amenable to efficient parallelization. We demonstrate the preconditioner's performance (in conjunction with the BiCGstab(ell) iterative solver) on two representative geometries, and observe a significant reduction in the number of iterations required for convergence.
