In this paper we propose a new a posteriori error estimator for a weakly singular integral equation concerned with a direct boundary element ap proach for a Dirichlet problem with a second order elliptic partial di er ential operator The method is based on an approximate solution of a second kind Fredholm integral equation by a Neumann series to estimate the error of a previous computed solutio...

The author develops the theory of pseudo differential equations and boundary value problems in nonsmooth domains. A model pseudo differential equation in a special cone is reduced to a certain integral equation. AMS Subject Classifications: 35S15, 45F05.

Elastic boundary eigensolution problems are converted into boundary integral equations by potential theory. The kernels of the boundary integral equations have both the logarithmic and Hilbert singularity simultaneously. We present the mechanical quadrature methods for solving eigensolutions of the boundary integral equations by dealing with two kinds of singularities at the same time. The meth...

With the conventional BEM, a significant analytical step is taken at the outset, and this involves only the simplest Green's functions. The result is a representation integral for desired fields in terms of boundary values of the fields. This result is obtained before elements and approximations of any kind are introduced. Unfortunately, when only the simplest Green's functions are used, about ...

Fractional differential equations arise in various fields of science and engineering such as rheology, fluid flows, electrical networks, viscoelasticity, chemical physics, biosciences, signal processing, systems control theory, electrochemistry, mechanics and diffusion processes. Fractional differential equations also serve as an excellent tool for the description of hereditary properties of va...

We propose and investigate a method for the stable determination of a harmonic function from knowledge of its value and its normal derivative on a part of the boundary of the (bounded) solution domain (Cauchy problem). We reformulate the Cauchy problem as an operator equation on the boundary using the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. To discretize the obtained operator, we modify and employ a method d...

Steady-state heat transfer problems have been considered in a composite solid comprising two materials, one, a slab, which forms the bulk of the interior and the other, a plate, which forms a thin layer around the boundary. Through the use of appropriate Green's functions, it is shown that the boundary value problem can be converted into a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. The inte...

We propose a simple formulation for constructing boundary integral methods to solve Poisson’s equation on domains with piecewise smooth boundaries defined through their signed distance function. Our formulation is based on averaging a family of parameterizations of an integral equation defined on the boundary of the domain, where the integrations are carried out in the level set framework using...

In this work, the least squares weighted residual method is used to solve the two-dimensional (2D) elasticity problem of a rectangular plate of in-plane dimensions 2a 2b subjected to parabolic edge tensile loads applied at the two edges x = a. The problem is expressed using Beltrami–Michell stress formulation. Airy’s stress function method is applied to the stress compatibility equation, and th...

Many important classes of the wave scattering problems can be described by equations of this form; for example, this is the case for problems of electromagnetic and acoustic scattering on 3D transparent bodies. The corresponding inte...
