Summary

Elliptic boundary value problem (BVP) for the stationary diffusion equation is considered. Within [BM03], we estimate the solution and its spatial derivatives by solving a system of local integral equations. We propose to use the Poisson-Boltzmann Green function instead of the Laplacian one. This enables us to obtain a convergent Neumann series for a wider class of equations.
