          <dc:description>This thesis describes the progressive development analysis of the equivalence principle
algorithm (EPA) beginning with the development of various operators that constitute
it. We begin with the formulation for the electric  field integral equation (EFIE),
and visit the necessary treatment of the magnetic field integral equation (MFIE),
the combined  field integral equation (CFIE), and the Poggio-Miller-Chu-Harrington-
Wu-Tsai (PMCHWT) along with various singularity extraction schemes before we
develop the EPA relations. The explicit expressions of the translation operators are
also derived. The EFIE, the MFIE, and the CFIE formulations are used to verify the
accuracy of such operators as the L, the K, the nX L, and the n XK operators that
are at the heart of the EPA formulation. Very detailed derivations and analyses of
these operators with proper scaling factors are included to avoid the inaccuracy due
to iterative solvers. Later we provide pertinent results for all of them for verification
and comparison.</dc:description>
