Definition

A numerical technique that converts a linear partial‑differential equation posed in a volume into an equivalent integral equation on the problem boundary by using the equation’s fundamental solution (Green’s function), so that only boundary unknowns are discretized; typically applied to linear, homogeneous, inviscid or elastic exterior problems (potential, acoustic, linear elasticity) and problems
