A robust and accurate solver of Laplace’s equation with general boundary conditions on general domains in the plane

Ojala, Rikard LU (2012) In Journal of Computational Mathematics 30(4). p.433-448
Abstract
A robust and general solver for Laplace’s equation on the interior of a simply connected

domain in the plane is described and tested. The solver handles general piecewise smooth

domains and Dirichlet, Neumann, and Robin boundary conditions. It is based on an

integral equation formulation of the problem. Difficulties due to changes in boundary

conditions and corners, cusps, or other examples of non-smoothness of the boundary are

handled using a recent technique called recursive compressed inverse preconditioning. The

result is a rapid and very accurate solver which is general in scope, its performance is

demonstrated via some challenging numerical tests.
