Abstract

We consider an electromagnetic scattering problem for inhomogeneous media. In particular, we focus on the numerical computation of the electromagnetic scattered wave generated by the interaction of an electromagnetic plane wave and an inhomogeneity in the corresponding propagation medium. This problem is studied in the VV polarization case, where some special symmetry requirements for the incident wave and for the inhomogeneity are assumed. This problem is reformulated as a Fredholm integral equation of second kind, which is discretized by a linear system having a special form. This allows to compute efficiently an approximate solution of the scattering problem by using iterative techniques for linear systems. Some numerical examples are reported.
