Divergence-Taylor-orthogonal basis functions for the discretization of second-kind surface integral equations in the method of moments

Vie present new implementations in the method of moments of two types of second-kind integral equations: (i) the recently proposed electric-magnetic field integral equation (EMFIE) for perfectly conducting objects, and (ii) the Müller formulation for homogeneous or piecewise homogeneous dielectric objects. We adopt the Taylor-orthogonal basis functions, a recently presented set of facet-oriented basis functions, which arise from the Taylor's expansion of the current at the centroids of the discretization triangles.
