Abstract

Radial basis functions are used to define approximate solutions to boundary integral equations on the unit sphere. These equations arise from the integral reformulation of the Laplace equation in the exterior of the sphere, with given Dirichlet or Neumann data, and a vanishing condition at infinity. Error estimates are proved. Numerical results supporting the theoretical results are presented.
