Abstract

A novel relaxed hierarchical algorithm based on the surface equivalence principle for the volume integral equations (VIEs) is proposed in this work. The equivalent sources residing on relaxed spherical equivalence surfaces are established by exact integral formulations. The equivalence surfaces are exploited hierarchically to accelerate matrix–vector product in iterative solutions for the VIEs. The computation time and memory cost complexity of the proposed algorithm for dielectric scatters scale as O(N4/3) and O(N) , respectively. Numerical examples validate the accuracy and capability of the proposed algorithm.
