摘要
A simple factorization of the finite-dimensional Galerkin operators motivates a study of the numerical stability of a Galerkin procedure on the basis of its "potential stability" and the "conditioning" of its coordinate functions. Conditions sufficient for stability and conditions leading to instability are thereby identified. Numerical examples of stability and instability occurring in the application of the Galerkin method to boundary-integral equations arising in simple scattering problems are provided and discussed within this framework. Numerical instabilities reported by other authors are examined and explained from the same point of view.
