A method has been developed for the solution of the resistivity and IP modeling problem for one or more two‐dimensional inhomogeneities buried in a space for which the Dirichlet Green’s function is known. The boundary‐value problem reduces to a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind which is parametrically a function of a spatial wavenumber. Using the method of moments, the integral equation is solved for a number of values of the wavenumber. An inverse Fourier transform is then performed in order to obtain the electric potential at any point of interest. The method agrees well with both experimental results and other numerical techniques.

In one-dimensional problems, the Legendre wavelets are good candidates for approximation. In this paper, we present a numerical method for solving two-dimensional first kind Fredholm integral equation. The method is based upon two-dimensional linear Legendre wavelet basis approximation. By applying tensor product of one-dimensional linear Legendre wavelet we construct a two-dimensional wavelet. Finally, we give some numerical examples.

Droplets on insulating material suffer a nonvanishing total ponderomotive force because of the inhomogeneity of the surrounding electric field. A series expansion of this total force is proven in a two-dimensional setting by determining the line charge density at the boundary of the test body via a Fredholm integral equation, which is solved by Fourier techniques. The influence of electric charges in the neighborhood of the test body can be estimated as well as the convergence speed of the series expansion. In all realistic applications the series converges very fast. The numerical effort in the simulation of the motion of rainwater droplets on outdoor insulators reduces considerably.

The function-valued Padé-type approximation (2DFPTA) is used to solve two-dimensional Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. In order to compute 2DFPTA, a triangle recursive algorithm based on Sylvester identity is proposed. The advantage of this algorithm is that, in the process of calculating 2DFPTA to avoid the calculation of the determinant, it can start from the initial value, from low to high order, and gradually proceeds. Compared with the original two methods, the numerical examples show that the algorithm is effective.

An inexpensive, rapid method has been developed for computing all three components of the magnetic field due to galvanic current flow from a point electrode in the vicinity of a conductive subsurface structure of infinite strike‐length and arbitrary cross‐section. For any three‐dimensional (3-D) structure, the magnetic field may be written as a sum of surface integrals over boundaries defining changes in conductivity by a direct modification of the Biot‐Savart law. The integrand of each surface integral includes the components of the electric field tangential to the boundary, which may be evaluated on the boundary using a standard integral equation technique. In the case of a two‐dimensional (2-D) structure, a reformulation of the theory by taking a one‐dimensional Fourier transform along the strike results in the reduction of both the surface integrals necessary to solve the integral equation for the electric field, and the integrals used in computing the magnetic field, to line integrals in wavenumber domain. We evaluate the integrals numerically and solve the integral equation for each of about ten wavenumbers; finally, we obtain the magnetic field in space domain through a concluding one‐dimensional inverse Fourier transform. Type curves and characteristic curves for the simple model of a buried horizontal cylinder beneath a thin layer of conductive overburden are constructed. In the absence of overburden, the half‐width of the anomaly is linearly related to the depth of the cylinder. In the presence of overburden, the form of the anomaly may be predicted in a simple manner from the corresponding anomaly in the absence of overburden, provided the distance from the current source is sufficiently large for most of the available current to have penetrated the overburden.

An analytical algorithm is proposed to represent eigensolutions [λm2, ψm(r)]m=1∞ of an imperfect structure C containing cracks in terms of crack configuration σc and eigensolutions [ωn2, φn(r)]n=1∞ of a perfect structured without P the cracks. To illustrate this algorithm on mechanical systems governed by the two-dimensional Helmholtz operator, the Green’s identity and Green’sfunction of P are used to represent ψm(r) in terms of an infinite series of φn(r). Substitution of the ψn(r) representation into the Kamke quotient of C and stationarity of the quotient result in a matrix Fredholm integral equation. The eigensolutions of the Fredholm integral equation then predict λm2 and ψm(r) of C. Finally, eigensolutions of two rectangular elastic solids under antiplane strain vibration, one with a boundary crack and the other with an oblique internal crack, are calculated numerically.

Purpose A novel technique based on Bernoulli wavelets has been proposed to solve two-dimensional Fredholm integral equation of second kind. Bernoulli wavelets have been created by dilation and translation of Bernoulli polynomials. This paper aims to introduce properties of Bernoulli wavelets and Bernoulli polynomials. Design/methodology/approach To solve the two-dimensional Fredholm integral equation of second kind, the proposed method has been used to transform the integral equation into a system of algebraic equations. Findings Numerical experiments shows that the proposed two-dimensional wavelets technique can give high-accurate solutions and good convergence rate. Originality/value The efficiency of newly developed two-dimensional wavelets technique has been validated by different illustrative numerical examples to solve two-dimensional Fredholm integral equations.
