I was not able to figure out how to deal with marginal cells
from looking at what was posted by JohnD. He shows the
algorithm for the inner cells which have four neighbors but
not for the cells with three or two neighbors. The answer is
probably hidden in this:
Thirdly, just outside the edge of the universe, there
is another layer of cells. These implement what I call
the boundary condition for the universe itself. ..."
That is where I am confused. Suppose I do create a layer of
cells adjacent to the Pasco sheet area. These are artificial
neighbors of marginal cells. What should I do with them?
How should I relax marginal cells?
Please be as specific as
possible; I am not very good in turning general principle,
such conservation of Q or energy, into practical formulas.
Last year I did not have this problem; I simply imposed
a constant zero potential on every marginal cell. Margins
were far away from the region in which I was interested;
they were the boundary of the universe. But I do not want
to impose any apriori potentials on marginal cells; I want to
learn what actually happens at marginal cells, according to
the relaxation algorithm. The only things I want to impose
are, for example, -15 V and +15 V at the inner cells
representing silver-painted circles. Am I asking too much?
