Abstract
Variational boundary element formulations are developed. Two functionals based on the dual and complementary energy approach are considered, which provide the upper and lower bound of the solution. Calculated examples of electrostatic fields are demonstrated for their field distributions and capacitances. Validity and the solution accuracy are discussed in comparison with the conventional boundary element solution.

Regular boundary integral elements are employed for the dual and complementary variational formulations of Laplace problems. The problems are defined only on the boundary as usual, but as in the manner of charge simulation method (CSM), the source terms are arranged outside the domain so that the si
