An ℋ 2 ‐matrix‐based mathematical framework is introduced and further developed to reduce the computational complexity of the volume integral equation (VIE)‐based analysis of electrodynamic problems. Numerical experiments have demonstrated a significant reduction in CPU time and memory consumption. A linear scaling with respect to matrix size in both CPU time and memory is achieved for small and medium‐sized electrodynamic problems with an interpolation‐based ℋ 2 ‐representation of the VIE operator in conjunction with a rank function for accuracy control. The proposed solver is applicable to arbitrarily shaped three‐dimensional structures immersed in inhomogeneous materials.
