Combination of the Laguerre Transform with the Boundary-element Method for the Solution of Integral Equations with Retarded Kernel

详细

We apply the Laguerre transform with respect to time to a time-dependent boundary-value integral equation encountered in the solution of three-dimensional Dirichlet initial-boundary-value problems for the homogeneous wave equation with homogeneous initial conditions by using the retarded potential of single layer. The obtained system of boundary integral equations is reduced to a sequence of Fredholm integral equations of the first kind that differ solely by the recursively dependent right-hand sides. To find their numerical solution, we use the boundary-element method. We establish an asymptotic estimate of the error of numerical solution and present the results of numerical simulations aimed at finding the solutions of retarded-potential integral equations for model examples.
