Application of the finite element technique to continuation problems of stationary fields

The paper deals with the application of the finite element technique to the extrapolation of stationary fields. The problem of continuation of the field potentials derived from the experimental data has been solved. The main idea is based on the application of one of the regularisation methods for solving an ill-conditioned, under- or overdetermined algebraic system of equations. Numerical calculations performed in the paper show the possible applications of the proposed method.
