Abstract

We propose a method for solving the three-dimensional boundary value problems for the Laplace equation in an unbounded domain. It is based on the non-overlapping decomposition of the exterior domain to the two subdomains such that the initial problem is reduced to the two subproblems, namely, the exterior and the interior boundary value problems on a sphere. To solve the exterior boundary value problem, we propose a singularity isolation method. To cross-link the solutions at the interface of subdomains (a sphere), we introduce a special operator equation that is approximated by the system of linear algebraic equations. Such a system is solved by iterative methods in the Krylov subspaces. The method is illustrated by solving the model problems confirming its operability.
