Preface

Many problems in mathematical physics and engineering are modeled by elliptic systems of partial differential equations. Well-known examples in this context are higher-dimensional steady-state heat conduction [11], acoustics (see [8, 15]), gravitational potential [10], fluid mechanics [14], and elasticity theory (plane strain, bending of thin plates, and stationary flexural oscillations—see [11, 12]). Among the solution techniques for such problems, a prominent role is played by boundary integral equation methods (BIEMs), which, apart from being powerful and elegant, have some decisi
