Comments on "An improved pulse-basis conjugate gradient FFT method for the thin conducting plate problem" /spl lsqb/with reply/spl rsqb/

Peter and Zwamborn comment on the paper by Tran and McCowen (IEEE Trans. Antenn. Propag., vol.41, p.185-90, 1993) which presents pulse-basis expansion functions and Dirac /spl delta/ testing functions within a conjugate gradient FFT (CGFFT) formulation. In the conclusions, Tran and McCowen state: "Although these spurious effects do not appear in the CGFFT formulation using the rooftop basis function proposed by Zwamborn and van den Berg (1991), there are more computational costs associated with their method than with ours." Peter and Zwamborn disagree with this statement. A reply is given by Tran and McCowen.<
