Abstract
Extrapolation of the number IV of subdivisions to infinity in the boun dary element method involves fitting computed results to a polynomial in 1/N. A technique of choosing the sizes of the subdivisions in such a way that the terms of lowest order in 1/N are eliminated, giving a m ore accurate extrapolation, is described. The technique is used to est ablish the capacitances of the unit square and cube with relative erro rs of 3 x 10(-7) and 3 x 10(-6) respectively. (C) 1997 Academic Press.
