Magnetic field integral equation (MFIE) and Calderón preconditioned electric field integral equation (EFIE) operators applied to toroidal surfaces have nontrivial nullspaces in the static limit. The nature of these nullspaces is elucidated and a technique for generating a basis for them presented. In addition, the effects of these nullspaces on the numerical solution of both frequency and time-domain MFIE and Calderón preconditioned EFIEs are investigated. The theoretical analysis is accompanied by corroborating numerical examples that show how these operators' nullspaces affect real-world problems. Index Terms-Boundary integral equations, Calderon preconditioned electric field integral equation (EFIE), magnetic field integral equation (MFIE), nullspace.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
