Abstract This paper proposes the numerical solution of three-dimensional Laplacian problems in a multiply connected domain using the collocation Trefftz method with multiple source points. A numerical solution for three-dimensional Laplacian problems was approximated by superpositioning T-complete functions formulated from 36 independent functions satisfying the governing equation in the cylindrical coordinate system. To deal with complicated problems for multiply connected domain, we adopted the generalized multiple source point boundary collocation Trefftz method which allows many source points in the Trefftz formulation without using the decomposition of the problem domain. In addition, to mitigate a severely ill-conditioned More >
