What are single layer and double layer potentials?












1












$begingroup$


I have never encountered the terms "single layer potential" and "double layer potential" in my (under)graduate studies, although there was a firm development of partial differential equations and some harmonic analysis.



Where can I learn the basic principles about that? Are these techniques related/equivalent to other known techniques?

    This article does not provide very much information, and it does not explain single layer potentials. Where does that name come from?
