In this paper, a high-order technique based on a locally-corrected Nystrom
scheme is applied to the solution of electromagnetic scattering problems vi
a the volume electric field integral equation. The locally corrected Nystro
m method is detailed for the solution of the vector polarization currents.
It is demonstrated that this scheme converges in a high-order manner for th
e scattering cross section of a dielectric cylinder of arbitrary cross sect
ion, and is computationally efficient.
