... In the western literature this method is now called ``coupled dipole method" (CDM). ... Thus, a system of equations relative to the fields scattered by the elementary domains can be obtained, and summation of these fields gives the total scattering field. ... A subtle difference between both methods is in the fact that in the first method one works with the fields which excite a dipole (without the field of the dipole), whereas in the second method one uses the real fields in a given domain. ...
