Abstract

An efficient numerical method is proposed for 2-d potential problems in anisotropic media with continuously variable material coefficients. The method is based on the local integral equations (utilizing a fundamental solution) and meshfree approximation of field variable. A lot of numerical experiments are carried out in order to study the numerical stability, accuracy, convergence and efficiency of several approaches utilizing various interpolations.
