Iterative Methods for Calculating Static Fields and Wave Scattering by Small Bodies [electronic resource] / by Alexander G. Ramm.

Iterative methods for calculating static fields are presented in this book. Static field boundary value problems are reduced to the boundary integral equations and these equations are solved by means of iterative processes. This is done for interior and exterior problems and for var­ ious boundary c...
