Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
In this paper, an approach to improve the method of angular basis function (MABF) proposed by Young et al. (2015) is proposed. Instead of using lnr in the method of fundamental solution (MFS), the MABF adopts theta to construct the solution. However, since the nature of theta introduces multiple values along the branch cut such that to avoid the branch cut passing through the domain is an important issue (Li et al., 2018). Noticing this difficulty, Alves et al. (2018) first proposed a remedy which used a pair of two points to restrict the discontinuity appearing only along the line segment between two points, and they named this approach as cracklets. In this article, the two-point angular basis function (cracklets) is investigated deeply. We explain why for a multiply connected domain with a logarithm singular solution the cracklets will encounter failure. To resolve this difficulty, one can adopt the proposed method (cracklets) with the MFS or one can use domain decomposition method to separate the domain into several singly connected domains. Seven numerical examples are provided to show the validity of this method, and examples for dealing with the multiply connected domain are focused to support our claims.
