Abstract
The multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) is applied to the problem o f a general three-dimensional dielectric target above or below a lossy half space. The dyadic half-space Green's function is evaluated rigorously for the "near" MLFMA interactions, while an asymptotic Green's function approxi mation is applied for the "far" interactions. The model is discussed, and r esults are compared with those from a rigorous method-of-moments (MoM) anal ysis. (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
