This is crucial for iteratively computing a time harmonic field exterior to a configuration of the particles. The main focus is on efficient computation of the wave interactions between the particles in any iterative multiple scattering approach. ===affil3: ===keyword_other1: ===lastname5: ===affilother: ===title: A fast iterative algorithm for simulation of wave interactions between large number of 3D particles ===firstname2: Stuart
