In this paper the theoretical foundation of the fast multipole method applied to problems involving electromagnetic scattering is briefly presented, the truncation of the Green’s function expansion is revisited, and the well established truncation criteria, in terms of the relative accuracy of the solutions of the electric field integral equation, is revised from a numerical experiment. Finally, from this numerical procedure an interesting result for the number L of poles is reported.
