Algorithms and Bicycles

For the last couple of weeks, I have been trying to understand the so called loop-tree and loop-star basis functions used in CEM. I had a very simple case implemented in bbmm, but that was only tested at higher frequencies. Last week, I started testing it at very low frequencies, down to about 3Hz, on simple geometries. It produced nonsensical results. Naturally, intense debugging followed.
