Effective Condition Numbers and Laplace Equations
[ Abstract ]
The condition number of a matrix is commonly used for investigating the stability of solutions to linear algebraic systems. Recent meshless techniques for solving PDEs have been known to give rise to ill-conditioned matrices, yet are still able to produce results that are close to machine accuracy. In this work, we consider the method of fundamental solutions (MFS), which is known to solve, with extremely high accuracy, certain partial differential equations, namely those for which a fundamental solution is known. To investigate the applicability of the MFS, either when the boundary is not analytic or when the boundary data is not harmonic, we examine the relationship between its accuracy and the effective condition number.
