Abstract

Abstract: In this paper we discuss some of the mathematical and numerical issues that have to be addressed when calculating wave scattering using the Ewald Oseen scattering (EOS) formulation which is newly developed for solving linear and nonlinear scattering problems. The discussion is framed in context of light scattering by objects whose optical response can be of a nonlinear and/or inhomogeneous nature. The discussions address two issues that, more likely than not, will be part of any investigation of wave scattering using the EOS approach.
