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.

Sparse Convolution Quadrature for Time Domain Boundary Integral Formulations of the Wave Equation by Cutoff and Panel-Clustering

Wolfgang Hackbusch, Wendy Kress and Stefan A. Sauter

Abstract

We consider the wave equation in a time domain boundary integral formulation. To obtain a stable time discretization, we employ the convolution quadrature method in time, developed by Lubich. In space, a Galerkin boundary element method is considered. The resulting Galerkin matrices are fully populated and the computational complexity is proportional to $N\log^2 N M^2$, where $M$ is the number of spatial unknowns and $N$ is the number of time steps.

We present two ways of reducing these costs. The first is an a-priori cutoff strategy, which allows to replace a substantial part of the matrices by $0$. The second is a panel clustering approximation, which further reduces the storage and computational cost by approximating subblocks by low rank matrices.
