APPLICATIONS OF THE LOCAL BOUNDARY INTEGRAL-EQUATION TECHNIQUE TO POTENTIAL PROBLEMS

The principles of a local boundary integral equation (LBIE) method for two-dimensional potential problems, based on either Taylor or Fourier series, are outlined. Numerical results for some test cases, confirming the preliminary results reported in two recent papers,1,2 are given to show that both Taylor and Fourier series can be used in their own rights and provide solutions of impressive accuracy.
