Mathematical Sciences: NSF-CBMS Regional Conference on Mathematical Foundations of the Boundary Element Method; May 9-13, 1988; Lexington, Kentucky

已经提出了各种数值技术， 椭圆边值问题的解，最近的 这些是有限差分方法和有限元方法。 近年来，边界积分方程方法得到了广泛的应用， 在流行，而不是一般的适用性比 更成熟的方法，他们已被证明是非常 有效解决各类问题 在诸如静电、热和流体流动、弹性 和断裂力学。 本次会议将围绕一系列 沃尔夫冈·温德兰的十次演讲， 边界元法的分析。

Various numerical techniques have been proposed for the solution of elliptic boundary value problems, the most recent of these being finite difference methods and finite element methods. In recent years, boundary integral equation methods have gained in popularity, and, while of less general applicability than the more established methods, they have proved to be exceedingly effective for the solution of various types of problems arising in such areas as electrostatics, heat and fluid flow, elasticity, and fracture mechanics. This conference will center on a series of ten lectures by Wolfgang Wendland, an international authority on the analysis of the boundary element method.
