“…All formulations of SGBEM based on regularization of the kernels before performing the limit, like in [11,12,13,14,15], do not provide free terms at all (and this is indeed one of their advantages). The same is true for the limit to the boundary method [16,17,18]. On the other hand, techniques based on the finite part idea [19,20,21] completely overlook the free term evaluation, as the 'bump' associated to the vanishing neighbourhood is never taken into account.…”
