In this paper convergence results with respect to Hölder-Zygmund norms-including also maximum norm error estimates-are derived for the fully discrete trigonometric collocation method presented earlier by Saranen and Vainikko for solution of boundary integral equations on smooth closed curves. Approximation of the integral operator is based on product integration for which the explicit Fourier representation of the main part is not needed, and still the convergence of arbitrarily high rate for smooth solutions can be achieved. Saranen and Vainikko have given their analysis with respect to Sobolev norms yielding results that do not imply pointwise error estimates of optimal order. In this work the approach is based on the use of Hölder-Zygmund norms, and the optimal order maximum norm estimates are accomplished.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
