An augmented Galerkin procedure for the boundary integral method applied to mixed boundary value problems (Q760199): Difference between revisions

The following problem is considered: \(\Delta u=0\) in \(\Omega \subset {\mathbb{R}}^ 2\), \(u=g_ 1\) on \(\Gamma_ 1\) and \(du/dn=g_ 2\) on \(\Gamma_ 2\), where \(\Gamma_ 1\cup \Gamma_ 2\cup Z_ 1\cup Z_ 2\) is the boundary of \(\Omega\), \(\Gamma_ 1\) and \(\Gamma_ 2\) being two disjoint open parts of \(\Gamma\) with common end points \(Z_ 1\) and \(Z_ 2.\) Since the solution is singular in the collision points, it is sought under the form \(u=\sum^{2}_{i=1}\alpha_ i\chi_ i\rho_ i^{1/2}\sin \theta_ i/2+v(z),\) where the unknowns are \(\alpha_ i\in {\mathbb{R}}\), \(i=1,2\) and with regular function v. Following the boundary integral method, a system of integral equations is given for \(u|_{\Gamma_ 2}\) and \(du/dn|_{\Gamma_ i}.\) The authors establish an existence theorem and propose a numerical solution for this system using some spline functions. Also, an error estimation is given by means of the Aubin-Nitsche trick and with the corresponding approximation properties of the considered spline functions.
