Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 應用數學系研究所 === 96 === Most of reports deal with bounded simply-connected domains; only a few involve in exterior and annular problems (Chen et al. [3], Katsuroda[10] and Ushijima and Chibu [30]). For exterior problems of Laplace''s equations, there exist two kinds of infinity conditions, (1) |u|≤C and (2) u=O( ln r), which must be complied with by the fundamental solutions chosen. For u=O(ln r), the traditional fundamental solutions can be used. However, for |u|≤C, new fundamental solutions are explored, with a brief error analysis. Numerical experiments are carried out to verify the theoretical analysis made. Numerical experiments are also provided for annular domains, to show that the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) is inferior to the method of particular solutions (MPS), in both accuracy and stability. MFS and MPS are classified into the Trefftz method (TM) using fundamental solutions (FS) and particular solutions (PS), respectively. The remarkable advantage of MFS over MPS is the uniform $ln|overline{PQ_i}|$, to lead to simple algorithms and programming, thus to save a great deal of human power. Hence, we may reach the engineering requirements by much less efforts and a little payment. Besides, the crack singularity in unbounded domain is also studied. A combination of both PS and FS is also employed, called combination of MFS. The numerical results of MPS and combination of MFS are coincident with each other. The study in this thesis may greatly extend the application of MFS from bounded simply-connected domains to other more complicated domains.
