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.

Adaptive Galerkin Boundary Element Methods with Panel Clustering

Wolfgang Hackbusch, Boris N. Khoromskij and Stefan A. Sauter

Abstract

The present paper introduces an $hp$-version of BEM for the Laplace equation in polyhedral domains based on meshes which are concentrated to zones on the surface (wire-basket zones), where the regularity of the solution is expected to be low. For the classical boundary integral equations, we prove the optimal approximation results and discuss the stability aspects. Then, we construct the panel-clustering and $\mathcal{H}$-matrix approximations to the corresponding Galerkin BEM stiffness matrix and prove their linear-logarithmic cost. The method is shown to have an almost linear complexity with respect to the number of degrees of freedom located on the wire basket.
