We present a comparison of computational results from light scattering by s
pherical particles with inclusions. The different simulation methods like t
he T-matrix method, multiple multipole method and the method of separation
of variables are presented shortly. Exemplary numerical simulations involve
scattering by particles with one or two spherical inclusions and scatterin
g by particles with non-spherical inclusions. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd
