  • Abstract
    This paper extends an iterative method to efficiently solve the global algebraic system of equations obtained by applying the hybrid FEM-BEM method to cases in which the field is due to charge distributions only, that is, when conductors with assigned potential (Dirichlet conditions) are not present. In the proposed approach, a conjugate gradient solver is used to solve the singular FEM equations, whereas the BEM equations are modified by means of the Gauss law.
