Abstract

The necessity of conforming testing procedures in developing accurate and reliable surface-integral-equation-based solvers for homogeneous penetrable objects is demonstrated. It is shown that only in Poggio–Miller–Chang–Harrington–Wu–Tsai (PMCHWT) formulation with a conforming testing procedure, the interface conditions become properly tested for both the tangential and normal field components. Numerical experiments illustrate that the use of a nonconforming testing procedure can lead to a significant decrease on the solution accuracy or erroneous diverging results.
