Integral evaluation in the BEM solution of (hyper)singular integral equations. 2D problems on polygonal domains (Q1362346)

The paper addresses the problem of accurately computing typical boundary element Cauchy's and hypersingular (i.e. kernels of order \(r^{-1}\) or \(r^{-2}\)) one-dimensional integrals, in numerical fashion, defined over polygonal domains. The main goal is the application of the processes to adaptive \(p\) or \(h-p\), Galerkin or collocation, boundary element versions. A number of test problems illustrates the accuracy of the quadrature rules proposed to classical potential problems.
