Abstract:

By using the integro-differential approach and classical boundary conditions (such as Dirichlet’s, Neumann’s or the very rarely used Cauchy boundary condition) for solving the two-dimensional problems in open space by the finite difference method, it is possible to – in the numerically exact way – close the calculation area to finite distance. Thus, one of great limitations of the finite difference method is overcome.
