Aoorixunate Green's functions in boundary integral analysis

摘要

It is well known that employing a Green's function which satisfies the prescribed conditions on a part of the boundary is advantageous for boundary integral calculations. In this paper, it is shown that an approximate Green's function, one in which the known data is nearly reproduced, can also be highly beneficial in implementations of the boundary-element method. This approximate Green's function approach is developed herein for solving the Laplace equation, and applied to the modeling of void dynamics under electromigration conditions n metallic thin-film interconnects used in integrated circuits.
