A Comparative Study of the Finite Element and Boundary Element Methods as Applied to a Boundary Value Problem of a Harmonic Function.

Abstract

The Finite Element and Boundary Element Methods are described with their essential features illustrated using an example of a boundary value problem for a harmonic function. Analysis of the methodical errors is then carried out. This is followed by a consideration of the relative computational advantages of the two methods.
