About us

The Research Group in Numerical Analysis at the Department of Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Sciences of the University of Parma is dedicated to advancing the theoretical and numerical understanding of Boundary Element Methods (BEM) and their diverse applications. Over the past decade, our focus has been primarily directed towards the comprehensive exploration of BEM's effectiveness in solving hyperbolic equations within the realms of scalar wave propagation and elastodynamics across both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) spaces. This ongoing research encompasses various satellite topics, with particular emphasis on the following key areas:

  • BEM/BEM and BEM/FEM coupling techniques for multi-layered media 
  • contact problems  
  • Finance barrier options pricing 
  • numerical integration schemes for singular integrals 
  • fast techniques for the linear system construction and resolution
