Description
This monograph represents a contribution to integral equation methods. It provides the formulation of a boundary-only integral equation for field problems governed by variable coefficient partial differential equations. Although the authors concentrate on the heat conduction equation, the method they propose is general and applicable to a variety of engineering field problems.
