Appl. Anal. 43, No. 3-4, 229-244 (1992).

We study a nonlinear boundary value problem posed on the interior or the exterior of the unit disk in \({\mathbb{R}}^ 2\). Using capacity operator, we transform it into a pseudo-differential problem posed on the unit circle. The Galerkin method, with Fourier developments, is used to approximate our problem. We show the convergence of the fixed-point scheme and we give an accurate bound of the \(L^ 2\)-norm of the error. Numerical results coming from a problem arising in electromagnetic casting are also presented.
