Abstract

We present a refinement-free Calderón multiplicative preconditioner (RF-CMP) for the electric field integral equation (EFIE) working on arbitrary geometries, that is, the case that the geometry has junctions is included. This is in stark contrast to existing Calderón preconditioners requiring the use of dual basis functions (e.g., Buffa-Christiansen (BC) or Chen-Wilton (CW) basis functions), which have not been generalized to arbitrary geometries. We obtain this result by a generalization of loop-star functions on junctions and using the fact that the loop and star transformation matrices can, if combined elaborately, be used to cure the dense-discretization breakdown of the EFIE. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
