  It is demonstrated that the Locally Corrected Nystrom (LCN) method is a
versatile and numerically efficient computational method for the modeling of
scattering from plasmonic bowtie nanoantennas. The LCN method is a high-order
analysis method that can provide exponential convergence. It is straightforward
to implement, accurate and computationally efficient. To the best of the
authors knowledge, the high-order LCN is here applied for the first time to 3D
nanostructures. Numerical results show the accuracy and efficiency of the LCN
applied to the electromagnetic analysis of nanostructures.
