Abstract

top
A technique is developed for constructing the solution of Δ 2 u = F in R = { ( x , y ) : | x | < a , | y | < b } , subject to boundary conditions u = φ , u n = ψ on R . The problem is reduced to that of finding the orthogonal projection P w of w in L 2 ( R ) onto the subspace H of square integrable functions harmonic in R . This problem is solved by decomposition H into the closed direct (not orthogonal) sum of two subspaces H ( 1 ) , H ( 2 ) for which complete orthogonal bases are known. P is expressed in terms of the projections P ( 1 ) , P ( 2 ) of L 2 ( R ) onto H ( 1 ) , H ( 2 ) respectively. The resulting construction yields an approximation technique with both a priori and a posteriori error bounds (the latter very precise). In a short appendix the numerical results are given of the application of the technique in some specific examples and the a posteriori error evaluated.

The problem is reduced to that of finding the orthogonal projection $Pw$ of $w$ in $L^2(R)$ onto the subspace ${\bf H}$ of square integrable functions harmonic in ${\bf R}$.
