Abstract

The motivation for the present article is to review some key features of the Symmetric Boundary Element Method from the point of view of the algebraic properties of the matrices arising from the Galerkin discretization of the displacement- and traction-Somigliana identities. The focus is on showing which features of these linear pseudo-differential operators are preserved and which are lost due to discretization.
