Abstract

A true block tri-diagonal matrix is developed for the solution of inhomogeneous penetrable scatterers of general shape and composition. In such a delineation, the operation counts would be N7/3 for the three dimensional cases. The technique is based on the splitting the scatterer into numerous layers, each one having interactions solely with neighboring layer. Each of the layers is resolved as a volume problem. The banded arrangement of the method renders it amenable to efficient recursive or iterative methods of solution.
