and objectives In tutorial 2, we demonstrated the basic steps for deriving the direct boundary integral equation. In this tutorial we will explain, with more examples, the derivation of the direct boundary integral equation for systems of partial differential equations. We will consider two examples: elasticity problems and shear-deformable plate bending problems. 1 Elasticity equations In this...

We introduce a boundary integral method for two-dimensional quantum billiards subjected to a constant magnetic field. It allows to calculate spectra and wave functions, in particular at strong fields and semiclassical values of the magnetic length. The method is presented for interior and exterior problems with general boundary conditions. We explain why the magnetic analogues of the field-free...

In a system where a free fluid flow is coupled to flow in a porous medium, different PDEs are solved simultaneously in two subdomains. We consider steady Stokes equations in the free region, coupled across a fixed interface to Darcy equations in the porous substrate. In this paper, the numerical solution is obtained using the boundary integral formulation with regularized Green’s function. High...

The main subject of this contribution is to present some recent methods, specially designed to be implemented on parallel platforms, to deal with acoustic scattering problems involving a bounded zone filled by a heterogeneous medium. The main approach is to couple a Finite Element Method, for handling this zone, with a Boundary Integral Equation, specially adapted to treat the unbounded part of...

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...
