Abstract

Upward continuation from a non-level surface may be performed by an integral equation method as shown previously by Bhattacharyya and Chan. Integration over the double layer is often computed using a centroid rule quadrature formula, but under certain circumstances more accurate formulae are required. One such formula may be found using a geometric approach. The result is equivalent to an expression recently published by Hansen and Miyazaki.
