Dear Yan,
you can check the FasterCap referenced papers at ht*ps://w*w.fastfieldsolvers.com/publications.htm (replace the * with the proper letters in the address, this is an anti-spam measure), in particular the papers from Appel, the one from Hanrahan, and the one by Weiping Shi. In a nutshell, the mesh refinement is based on Appel's algorithm that ws originally devised from the N-body problem (just like the multipole algorithm used in FastCap was invented to accelerate N-body computations) and then extended to solve Radiosity problems by Hanrahan. FasterCap uses the same algorithm as used for Radiosity in a similar fashion to what done by Weiping Shi - although I personally find this latter paper a bit confusing.
Best Regards, Enrico
