However, MFIE is fundamentally a very different integral equation from EFIE. Many questions have been raised about the differences.EnglishCombined field integral equationsConvergence behaviorsConvergence ratesDielectric interfacesDiscretizationEigenvaluesElectric Field Integral equationsEquivalence principlesFirst kind integral equationsInternal resonancesIterative solversMathematical analysesMatrix representationsSmoothing operatorsSymmetric operatorsTree decompositionsAntennasDiffractive optical elementsElectric fieldsError analysisIntegral equationsMagnetic fieldsMathematical operatorsResonancePhysical opticsEFIE and MFIE, why the difference?Conference Paper10.1109/APS.2008.4619724
