where the superscripts i and e denote the interior are shown below (R > ) and exterior ( > R) cases, respectively. In Eq. (20), the origin of the observer system for the degenerate Li (R, ; , ) = kernel is (0, 0) for simplicity. It is noted that degenerate m1 ( Rm ) cos m( ), R > kernel for the fundamental solution is equivalent to the m= 1 addition theorem which was similarly used by Bird and L(s, x) = Le (R, ; , ) = 1 Steele [Bird M. D.; Steele C. R. (1992)].

Since the potential resulted from T (s, x) and L(s, x) kernels are discontinuous across the boundary, the potentials of T (s, x) for R + and R are different. This is the reason why R = is not included in expressions of degenerate kernels for T (s, x) and L(s, x) in Eqs. (21) and (22). Figure 2 : Graph of the separate form of fundamental 3.2 Adaptive observer system solution (s = (10, /3)) After moving the point of Eq. (18) to the boundary, the boundary integrals through all the circular contours are required. Since the boundary integral equations are frame indifferent, i.e. objectivity rule, the observer system is adaptively to locate the origin at the center of circle in the boundary integral. Adaptive observer system is chosen to fully employ the property of degenerate kernels. Figures 3 and 4 show the boundary integration for the circular boundaries in the adaptive observer system. It is noted that the origin of the observer system is located on the center of the corresponding circle under integration to entirely utilize the geometry of circular boundary for the expansion of degenerate kernels and boundary densities. The dummy variable in the circular integration is angle () instead of radial coordinate (R).

By setting the origin at o for the observer system, a circle with radius R from the origin o to the source point s is plotted. If the eld point x is situated inside the circular region, the degenerate kernel belongs to the interior case U i ; otherwise, it is the exterior case. After taking the normal derivative R with respect to Eq. (20), the T (s, x) kernel can be derived as i 1 T ( R , ; , ) = R m + ( Rm+1 ) cos m( ), R > T e ( R , ; , ) = m1 ( Rm ) cos m( ), > R
