ON THE CONVERGENCE OF THE METHOD OF MOMENTS, THE BOUNDARY-RESIDUAL METHOD, AND THE POINT-MATCHING METHOD WITH A RIGOROUSLY CONVERCENT FORMULATION OF THE POINT-MATCHING METHOD

Abstract

The method of moments reduces to the boundary-residual method or the point-matching method with a suitable weighting function. This paper shows another means by which these three methods can produce equivalent results. Arguments are given as to why point matching can fail to converge, while the other two methods rigorously converge. An example is given to support these arguments. [Vol. 8, No. 2 (1993), pp 188-202]
