A theoretical study of charge iteration

Source abstract

Charge iteration is an iterative procedure for the finite element computation of unbounded electrical fields, created by voltaged conductors. It makes use of a fictitious boundary, enclosing all the conductors, on which the electrical potential is first guessed and then iteratively improved according to the charge lying on the conductor surfaces. Highlights the theoretical foundations of the procedure outside any numerical context. From this useful insight, obtains a model which can aid the user in utilization of the numerical version of the procedure.
