The paper presents a non-element method of solving boundary problems defined on polygonal domains modeled by corner points. To solve these problems a parametric integral equation system (PIES) is used. The system is characterized by a separation of the approximation of boundary geometry from the approximation of boundary functions. This feature makes it possible to effectively investigate the convergence of the obtained solutions with no need of performing the approximation of boundary geometry. The testing examples included confirm high accuracy of the solutions.
This paper presents a new boundary shape representation for 3D boundary value problems based on parametric triangular Bézier surface patches. Formed by the surface patches, the graphical representation of the boundary is directly incorporated into the formula of parametric integral equation system (PIES). This allows us to eliminate the need for both boundary and domain discretizations. The possibility of eliminating the discretization of the boundary and the domain in PIES significantly reduces the number of input data necessary to define the boundary. In this case, the boundary is described by a small set of control points of surface patches. Three numerical examples were used to validate the solutions of PIES with analytical and numerical results available in the literature.
