Well-conditioned algorithm for scattering by a few eccentrically multilayered dielectric circular cylinders

The new regularization of the well-known analytical formulation of the monochromatic electromagnetic wave scattering by a few eccentrically multilayered homogenous circular cylinders is presented. It is found out that a regularization of this formulation is absolutely necessary. The two-sided regularization that we made is based on the integral formulation of the mentioned problem. The polarization of the fields are parallel to the longitudinal axes of the cylinders; thus, a two dimensional problem for each both polarizations are under consideration. The condition number of the resulting algebraic system is uniformly bounded while its truncation number increases. The numerical results are validated by existing results such as near and far fields obtained under various geometrical and electrical parameters of the scattering problem. Numerical results including the condition numbers of the regularized and nonregularized systems show that only regularized system gives numerically stable results with any desired accuracy in a wide range of frequencies from quasistatic to rather high-frequency range, limited only by the capabilities of the computer with the guarantee of the physical reliability of the solution.
