AB  - A combination of the multilevel fast multipole method (MLFMM) and boundary 
      element method (BEM) can solve large scale photonics problems of arbitrary 
      geometry. Here, MLFMM-BEM algorithm based on a scalar and vector potential 
      formulation, instead of the more conventional electric and magnetic field 
      formulations, is described. The method can deal with multiple lossy or lossless 
      dielectric objects of arbitrary geometry, be they nested, in contact, or 
      dispersed. Several examples are used to demonstrate that this method is able to 
      efficiently handle 3D photonic scatterers involving large numbers of unknowns. 
      Absorption, scattering, and extinction efficiencies of gold nanoparticle spheres, 
      calculated by the MLFMM, are compared with Mie's theory. MLFMM calculations of 
      the bistatic radar cross section (RCS) of a gold sphere near the plasmon 
      resonance and of a silica coated gold sphere are also compared with Mie theory 
      predictions. Finally, the bistatic RCS of a nanoparticle gold-silver heterodimer 
      calculated with MLFMM is compared with unmodified BEM calculations.
