Well-conditioned dipole-type method of fundamental solutions: derivation and its mathematical analysis

Abstract: In this paper, we examine the dipole-type method of fundamental solutions, which can be conceptualized as a discretization of the "singularity-removed" double-layer potential. We present a method for removing the ill-conditionality, which was previously considered a significant challenge, and provide a mathematical analysis in the context of disk regions. Moreover, we extend the proposed method to the general Jordan region using conformal mapping, demonstrating the efficacy of the proposed method through numerical experiments.
