In this paper, we develop an accurate and efficient Nyström volume integral equation (VIE) method for the Maxwell equations for large number of 3-D scatterers. The Cauchy Principal Values that arise from the VIE are computed accurately using a finite size exclusion volume together with explicit correction integrals consisting of removable singularities. Also, the hyper-singular integrals are computed using interpolated quadrature formulae with tensor-product quadrature nodes for several objects, such as cubes and spheres, that are frequently encountered in the design of meta-materials . The resulting Nyström VIE method is shown to have high accuracy with a minimum number of collocation points and demonstrate $p$-convergence for computing the electromagnetic scattering of these objects. Numerical calculations of multiple scatterers of cubic and spherical shapes validate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.

In this paper, we develop highly accurate Nyström methods for the volume integral equation (VIE) of the Maxwell equation for 3-D scatters. The method is based on a formulation of the VIE equation where the Cauchy principal value of the dyadic Green's function can be computed accurately for a finite size exclusion volume with some explicit corrective integrals of removable singularities. Then, an effective interpolated quadrature formula for tensor product Gauss quadrature nodes in a cube is proposed to handle the hyper-singularity of integrals of the dyadic Green's function. The proposed high order Nyström VIE method is shown to have high accuracy and demonstrates $p$-convergence for computing the electromagnetic scattering of cubes in $R^3$.
