Solving exterior boundary value problems for the Laplace equation (Q2196177)

The present paper develops an algorithm for solving exterior boundary value problems for the Laplace equation in two- and three-dimensional cases. An iterative algorithm is constructed for solving integro-differential equations. The paper is outlined as follows. The beginning is an Introduction. In Section 1, solving exterior boundary value problems for the Laplace equation in the case of a known Green function is given. The iterative solution algorithm is discussed in Section 2. In greater detail, the exterior problem for the two-dimensional domain is considered in the case where it is impossible to write Green's function in closed form. In Section 3, the exterior boundary value problem using the iterative process for a complex-shaped three-dimensional domain is solved. Examples of solving evolution problems are given in Section 4. Finally, some conclusions are fixed at the end of the paper.
