We first review the basic existence results for exterior boundary value problems for the Helmholtz equation via boundary integral equations. Then we describe the numerical solution of these integral equations in two dimensions for a smooth boundary curve using trigonometric polynomials on an equidistant mesh. We provide a comparison of the NystrGm method, the collocation method and the Gale&in ...

The Poisson equation on manifolds plays an fundamental role in many applications. Recently, we proposed a novel numerical method called the Point Integral method (PIM) to solve the Poisson equations on manifolds from point clouds. In this paper, we prove the convergence of the point integral method for solving the Poisson equation with the Dirichlet boundary condition.

This paper is concerned with weak solution of a mixed boundary value problem for the biharmonic equation in the plane. Using Green’s formula, the problem is converted into a system of Fredholm integral equations for the unknown data on different part of the boundary. Existence and uniqueness of the solutions of the system of boundary integral equations are established in appropriate Sobolev spa...
