“…The interior and exterior are finally coupled via the field continuity conditions, leading to a complete system for the solution of interior and surface fields. This technique is particularly attractive for open-region problems involving complex structures and inhomogeneous materials, e.g., Brezzi and Johnson [8], Costable and Stephan [11], Gatica and Hsiao [13], Hsiao [17], Johnson and Nédélec [22], Li [24], Meddahi et al [26].…”
