Iterative Solutions for Electromagnetic Fields at Perfectly Reflective and Transmissive Interfaces Using Clifford Algebra and the Multidimensional Cauchy Integral

A technique is presented for calculating the solution of Maxwell's equations using a CFIE based on the Cauchy integral and formulated in the guise of Clifford algebra. This formulation has a geometric interpretation leading to an iterative method of solution which is easily proven as convergent and correct for both perfectly reflective and perfectly transmissive interfaces. Simple test cases involving a cubic boundary and plane wave and dipole sources are used to investigate the numerical performance of the method.
