Abstract

The scattering solution from N scatterers, each of whose scattered field is approximated by M harmonics is an NM unknown problem. A straightforward solution to this problem can be obtained by casting it into an NM linear algebraic equation. The solution of the linear algebraic equation will involve order N³M³ flouting point operations. However, via the use of a recursive algorithm and the translation formula, an order N²M³ algorithm to solve such a problem is possible.
