Notes:
In this paper the basic idea of homotopy in topology is applied to give a kind of high-order BEM formulation for general non-linear problems governed by non-linear differential operators which need not contain any linear operators at all. As a result, the traditional BEM for non- linear problems is just a special case of the proposed method. Three simple examples are used to show the effectiveness of the proposed quite general BEM for non-linear problems.
