Boundary Element Method for Laplace Problems

Chapter 1. The Boundary Element Method

1.1  Introduction

This is an on-line manual for the Fotran library for solving Laplace' equation by the Boundary Element Method. This includes the core codes L2LC.FOR (2D), L3LC.FOR (3D) and L3ALC.FOR (3D axisymmentric). And the operational codes LIBEM2.FOR (2D, interior), LIBEM3.FOR (3D, exterior), LEBEM3.FOR (3D, exterior), LIBEMA.FOR (3D axisymmetric, interior) and LEBEMA.FOR (3D axisymmetric, exterior). The document below gives an introduction to the boundary element method.
