On integral equation methods for the first Dirichlet problem of the biharmonic and modified biharmonic equations in nonsmooth domains
Despite important applications in unsteady Stokes flow, a Fredholm second kind integral equation formulation modeling the first Dirichlet problem of the modified biharmonic equation in the plane has been derived only recently. Furthermore, this formulation becomes very ill-conditioned when the boundary is not smooth, say, having corners. The present work demonstrates numerically that a method call
