Abstract

The solution of the two-dimensional scattering problem for an homogeneous dielectric cylinder of arbitrary shape is considered. The numerical approach is based on a two-field system of integral equations solved by a Krylov subspace method. To accelerate and to improve the convergence of this solver, an efficient and robust preconditioner, based on the Calderon formulae, is developed. Several numerical simulations, for a wide range of physical parameters, validating the choice of this preconditioner are presented.
