Fast Fourier-Galerkin methods for nonlinear boundary integral equations (Q368094)

A fast Fourier-Galerkin method for solving a nonlinear integral equation is considered. The paper consists of 4 sections. Section 1 is an introduction. In Section 2, the authors review the boundary integral equation reformulation of the considered nonlinear boundary value problem. A Fourier-Galerkin method based on a nonlinear term projection for solving the resulting nonlinear boundary integral equation is described in Section 2, too. In Section 3, it is shown that the Fourier-Galerkin method enjoys the exponential convergence order if the exact solution is analytic. If the exact solution has a Sobolev regularity, a fully discrete fast Fourier-Galerkin method by employing a matrix truncation strategy, a quadrature formula for oscillatory integrals, and the multilevel augmentation method is developed in Section 4. Numerical experiments are also presented in Section 4 to confirm the theoretical estimates and to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.
