Abstract

In this paper, the multiscale boundary element method is applied to solve the Laplace equation numerically. The new technique is the coupling of the multiscale technique and the boundary element method in order to speed up the computation. A numerical example is given to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method. The computed numerical solutions by the proposed method will be compared with the solutions obtained by the conventional boundary element method with the help of Fortran compiler. By comparison, results show that the new technique use less iterations to arrive at the solutions.
