Progress in controlled accuracy numerical solutions of integral equations

Abstract

This presentation will review the state of progress in high accuracy computations such as the method-of-moments solution of integral equations of electromagnetics.The fundamental question to be addressed is: "What is needed in order to obtain solutions of general problems to 'dialable' accuracy?" In other words, what technological advances are required before we can routinely specify, in advance, that we would like a result that is accurate to N decimal places, and reliably obtain such a result? Specific contributions of the authors toward this goal will be highlighted and ongoing efforts will be detailed.
