Instead of employing a certain number of basis functions as buffer regions, this method just uses the patches adjacent to artificial boundaries to ensure the normal continuity of the currents across the artificial regional edges. The multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) is applied to accelerate the computation of matrix-vector multiplication.
