Review text

The Neumann problem for the Laplace equation in the exterior of a curve in the plane is considered. The author reformulates the problem as a boundary integral equation of the first kind with a symmetric kernel. Both the \(h\) and \(p\) versions of the Galerkin scheme are considered. The author proves that the condition number of the additive Schwarz operator is bounded by \(\mathcal O(1+\log ^2(H/\delta))\) for the \(h\) version, where \(H\) is the size of the coarse mesh and \(\delta\) is the size of the overlap, and is bounded independently of the mesh size and the polynomial order for the \(p\) version. Numerical results for the \(h\) version are presented.
