A fast 2-D parallel multilevel fast multipole algorithm solver for oblique plane wave incidence

We present a multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) implementation to numerically solve Maxwell's equations for large two-dimensional geometries illuminated by an arbitrary plane wave in three-dimensional space. The solver's capabilities are augmented by means of an asynchronous and hierarchical parallelization. Its accuracy is demonstrated by comparing the analytical and numerically obtained scattering width of several canonical examples with a size of 700,000 wavelengths.We present a multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) implementation to numerically solve Maxwell's equations for large two-dimensional geometries illuminated by an arbitrary plane wave in three-dimensional space.
