MiS Preprint Repository

We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Fast Evaluation of Boundary Integral Operators arising from an Eddy Current Problem

Steffen Börm and Jörg Ostrowski

Abstract

This paper deals with the ${\mathcal H}^2$-matrix approximation of matrices that arise from a Galerkin boundary element (BEM) discretization in the context of the ${\mathbf E}$-based eddy current model. The BEM operators are dense, thus need to be compressed. They are of complicated structure, i.e., some kernels and basis functions are vector valued, and test and basis functions are not always identical. The ${\mathcal H}^2$-matrix approximation technique is applied to the kernels of the four different relevant boundary integral operators. Numerical experiments demonstrate the significant acceleration of an iterative solution procedure by means of matrix compression.
