Corner singularities for elliptic problems: special basis functions versus ‘brute force’

Helsing, Johan LU (2000) In Communications in Numerical Methods in Engineering 16(1). p.37-46
Abstract
A method is presented for the fast and accurate solution of elliptic boundary value problems on domains with corners. The method is based on integral equations and Nyström discretization. Close to corners two representations for the solution coexist — a pointwise representation and a representation in terms of special basis functions. Mappings and kernel evaluations are constructed on a symmetric corner panel. In a numerical example the electrostatic equation is solved for an array of square prisms. A dramatic improvement in efficiency over previous schemes is observed.
