Versatile Solver of Nonconformal Volume Integral Equation Based on SWG Basis Function by Chunbei Luo, Mingjie Pang, Hai Lin

“…In this paper, a versatile solver of a nonconformal volume integral equation based on the Schaubert-Wilton-Glisson (SWG) basis function is presented. Instead of using a piecewise constant function, the robust conventional SWG basis function is chosen and used directly for discontinuous boundaries. …”
