Optimal order collocation for the mixed boundary value problem on polygons (Q2701554)

The author builds collocation methods based on a mixed single and double layer potential for the mixed Dirichlet-Neumann problem in a plane polygonal domain. The boundary values of this potential define a bijective boundary operator if a modified capacity adapted to the problem is not 1. The author construct an optimal order Fix collocation method without mesh grading and with full numerically stability. It is based on smoothest splines. If splines of order \(2m-1\) are used, the quasi-optimal estimates are obtained in \(H^m\)-norm. The efficiency of the methods are demonstrated by some numerical computations.
