Preface
The integral equation method is an elegant mathematical way of transforming elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) into boundary integral equations (BIEs). The focus of this book is the systematic development of efficient numerical methods for the solution of these boundary integral equations and therefore of the underlying differential equations. The integral equation method has a long history that is closely linked to mathematicians such as I. Fredholm, D. Hilbert, E. Nystr¨om, J. Hadamard, J. Plemelj, J. Radon and many others. Here is a list of some of the original works on the subject: [46, 96, 101, 126, 164, 165, 173, 175–177, 181, 182, 188, 214, 229]. With the introduction of variational methods for partial differential equations at the beginning of the twentieth century, integral equations lost some of their importance for the area of analysis. This was due to the difficulty of formulating precise results on existence and uniqueness by means of classical integral equations. Since the middle of the twentieth century the need for numerical methods for partial differential methods began to grow. This was reflected also in the rapidly incre
