Abstract:A study of the condition number of matrices appearing in the resolution of mixed boundary value potential problems through the boundary element method (BEM) is presented here. It is shown how this condition number varies with the size of the domain under consideration. An algorithm is provided giving the best scale factor, which is the one leading to the smallest possible condition number.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
