contents In this paper, a novel QR decomposition-based compression scheme is combined with a volume integral equations method for the fast and efficient numerical computation of the scattering of electromagnetic fields from large scale metasurfaces, via an iterative approach. The underlying problem is of a multiscale nature. Indeed, these metasurfaces are made of a large collection of interacting sub-wavelength scatterers, thus making the numerical computation of the solution very challenging. More specifically, the paper proposes a tailored version of a QR decomposition-based compression for a volume integral equation, together with a proper preconditioner that exploits the geometrical structure of the array, in order to achieve a fast and accurate iterative solver, in view of realistic applications. Numerical examples prove the effectiveness of the method in efficiently modeling metasurfaces made by thousands of particles.
