The paper provides boundary integral equations for solving the problem of viscous scattering of a pressure wave by a rigid body. By using this mathematical tool uniqueness and existence theorems are proved. Since the boundary conditions are written in terms of velocities, vector boundary integral equations are obtained for solving the problem. The paper introduces single-layer viscous potential...

In this paper, both singular and hypersingular fundamental solutions of plane Cosserat elasticity are derived and given in a ready-to-use form. The hypersingular fundamental solutions allow to formulate the analogue of Somigliana stress identity, which can be used to obtain the stress and couple-stress fields inside the domain from the boundary values of the displacements, microrotation and str...

Much of the research on the numerical analysis of Fredholm type integral equations during the past ten years has centered on the solution of boundary integral equations (BIE). A great deal of this research has been on the numerical solution of BIE on simple closed boundary curves S for planar regions. When a BIE is de ned on a smooth curve S, there are many numerical methods for solving the equ...

Partial differential equations provide mathematical models of many important problems in the physical sciences and engineering. This book treats one class of such equations, concentrating on methods involving the use of surface potentials. It provides the first detailed exposition of the mathematical theory of boundary integral equations of the first kind on non-smooth domains. Included are cha...

A Nyström method for the discretization of thermal layer potentials is proposed and analyzed. The method is based on considering the potentials as generalized Abel integral operators in time, where the kernel is a time dependent surface integral operator. The time discretization is the trapezoidal rule with a corrected weight at the endpoint to compensate for singularities of the integrand. The...

This paper presents a wavelet Galerkin scheme for the fast solution of boundary integral equations. Wavelet Galerkin schemes employ appropriate wavelet bases for the discretization of boundary integral operators. This yields quasi-sparse system matrices which can be compressed to O(NJ) relevant matrix entries without compromising the accuracy of the underlying Galerkin scheme. Herein, O(NJ) den...
