Abstract :
During last years, numerous authors have developed adaptive meshing methods based on efficient error estimators for the Finite Element Method. In this paper we propose a similar tool, meant expressly for the Boundary Integral Equation Method (BIEM). We will first present the expression of the proposed error estimator, then analyze its properties in the context of a specific BIE program and for a simple electrostatic structure. We present finally the implementation of this estimator in association with novel techniques for adaptive meshing
