Description

The discrete sources method is an efficient and powerful tool for solving a large class of boundary-value problems in scattering theory. A variety of numerical methods for discrete sources now exist. In this book, the authors unify these formulations in the context of the so-called discrete sources method.

Key features

  • Comprehensive presentation of the discrete sources method
  • Original theory - an extension of the conventional null-field method using discrete sources
  • Practical examples that demonstrate the efficiency and flexibility of elaborated methods (scattering by particles with high aspect ratio, rough particles, nonaxisymmetric particles, multiple scattering)
  • List of discrete sources programmes available via the Internet

Readership

Researchers and students in advanced electromagnetics and electrical engineering, physics, astronomy, optics, meteorology, biophysics, remote sensing, optical particle sizing, and applied mathematics
