Abstract In this paper, we apply the coupling of natural boundary element method and finite element method to solve a three-dimensional nonlinear interface problem. Two equations are coupled by interface conditions on the interface boundary. A spherical surface as the artificial boundary is introduced. The equivalent coupled variational problem is described. The existence and uniqueness of the solution of concerned problem as well as the estimates of its approximate solution are obtained. Some numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of this method. More >
