Static-field computations by the method of optimised simulated images

Static-field computations can be simple and fast if the method of images can be used. However, except for some simple geometries such as planes and spheres, one cannot determine the locations and strength of the images. This paper overcomes this difficulty, and makes the desired determinations on a set of simulated images by an optimisation technique. Two examples are included to demonstrate the rapid convergence of this method.
