Abstract:Using a model boundary integral equation of the first kind, we study some very simple numerical integration schemes for implementing spline collocation methods. The logarithmic singularity in the kernel is handled by combining special correction terms with standard composite integration rules of Gauss or Lobatto type. We prove that the stability and asymptotic convergence properties of the collocation method are maintained despite the quadrature errors. Numerical experiments confirm the error analysis.
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.
