Abstract: The authors consider the interior Dirichlet problem for Laplace's equation on planar domains with corners. In order to approximate the solution of the corresponding double layer boundary integral equation, they propose a numerical method of Nystrom type, based on a Lobatto quadrature rule.The convergence and stability of the method are proved and some numerical tests are included.


The authors consider the interior Dirichlet problem for Laplace's equation \[ \left\{ \begin{matrix} \Delta u(P)=0, & P\in \Delta, \\ u(P)=g(P), & P\in\sum, \end{matrix}\right. \] where \(g\) is a given sufficiently smooth boundary function on \(\sum\). The most popular methods to solve such a problem, for instance collocation, Galerkin and Nyström methods, are based on piecewise polynomial approximations with graded meshes. In this paper, they provide a complete analysis of natural quadrature method numerical solution of \((-\pi +K)\psi =g\). They convert \((-\pi +K)\psi =g\) into on equivalent system of boundary integral equations of the second kind. In this paper, a new modification is proposed and the stability and convergence of the described ``modified procedure are fully investigated. The linear systems arising from the discretization of the system of boundary integral equations are well conditioned. Section 3 is devoted to describing the numerical procedure and to establishing the main theorems about its stability and convergence. Section 4 is about the proofs of the theoretical results and in Section 5, five numerical examples are given.
