The condition number of the BEM-matrix arising from Laplace’s equation

چکیده
We investigate the condition number of the matrices that appear in the boundary element method. In particular we consider the Laplace equation with mixed boundary conditions. For Dirichlet boundary conditions, the condition number of the system matrix increases linearly with the number of boundary elements. We extend the research and search for a relation between the condition number and the number of elements in the case of mixed boundary conditions. In the case of a circular domain, we derive an estimate for the condition number of the system matrix. This matrix consists of two blocks, each block originating from a well-conditioned matrix. We show that the block matrix is also wellconditioned.

Condition number of the BEM matrix arising from the Stokes equations in 2D
We study the condition number of the system matrices that appear in the Boundary Element Method when solving the Stokes equations at a two-dimensional domain. At the boundary of the domain we impose Dirichlet conditions or mixed conditions. We show that for certain critical boundary contours the underlying boundary integral equation is not solvable. As a consequence, the condition number of the...
متن کاملPreconditioned Generalized Minimal Residual Method for Solving Fractional Advection-Diffusion Equation
Introduction Fractional differential equations (FDEs) have attracted much attention and have been widely used in the fields of finance, physics, image processing, and biology, etc. It is not always possible to find an analytical solution for such equations. The approximate solution or numerical scheme may be a good approach, particularly, the schemes in numerical linear algebra for solving ...
متن کاملSaint-Venant torsion of non-homogeneous anisotropic bars
The BEM is applied to the solution of the torsion problem of non-homogeneous anisotropic non-circular prismatic bars. The problem is formulated in terms of the warping function. This formulation leads to a second order partial differential equation with variable coefficients, subjected to a generalized Neumann type boundary condition. The problem is solved using the Analog Equation Method (AEM)...
متن کاملThe panel-clustering method for the wave equation in two spatial dimensions
We consider the numerical solution of the wave equation in a two-dimensional domain and start from a boundary integral formulation for its discretization. We employ the convolution quadrature (CQ) for the temporal and a Galerkin boundary element method (BEM) for the spatial discretization. Our main focus is the sparse approximation of the arising sequence of boundary integral operators by panel...
متن کاملNew variants of the global Krylov type methods for linear systems with multiple right-hand sides arising in elliptic PDEs
In this paper, we present new variants of global bi-conjugate gradient (Gl-BiCG) and global bi-conjugate residual (Gl-BiCR) methods for solving nonsymmetric linear systems with multiple right-hand sides. These methods are based on global oblique projections of the initial residual onto a matrix Krylov subspace. It is shown that these new algorithms converge faster and more smoothly than the Gl-...
