Abstract
Richardson extrapolation can be used to improve the accuracy of numerical solutions for the normal boundary flux and the interior potential resulting from the boundary element method applied to a Dirichlet problem for the Laplace equation. Using numerical results related to the Richardson extrapolation, a technique will be developed that predicts the reliability of the Richardson extrapolation results.
