Corner singularities for elliptic problems: special basis functions versus “brute force”
نویسنده
چکیده
A method is presented for the fast and accurate solution of elliptic boundary value problems on domains with corners. The method is based on integral equations and Nyström discretization. Close to corners two representations for the solution coexist – a pointwise representation and a representation in terms of special basis functions. Mappings and kernel evaluations are constructed on a symmetric corner panel. In a numerical example the electrostatic equation is solved for an array of square prisms. A dramatic improvement in efficiency over previous schemes is observed.

In this paper, Equilibrated Singular Basis Functions (EqSBFs) are implemented in the framework of the Finite Element Method (FEM), which can approximately satisfy the harmonic PDE in homogeneous and heterogeneous media. EqSBFs are able to automatically reproduce the terms consistent with the singularity order in the vicinity of the singular point. The newly made bases are used as the compliment...

This paper deals with the basic approximation properties of the h-p version of the boundary element method (BEM) in IR 3. We extend the results on the exponential convergence of the h-p version of the boundary element method on geometric meshes from problems in polygonal domains to problems in polyhedral domains. In 2D elliptic boundary value problems the solutions have only corner singularitie...
متن کاملApplication of the Wave Based Prediction Technique for structural problems with stress singularities
The Finite Element Method is a commonly used prediction method for dynamic simulations of plate bending problems. A major disadvantage of this method is its practical frequency limitation in that the computational loads become prohibitively large at higher frequencies. A newly developed Wave Based prediction technique aims to relax this frequency limitation through an enhanced computational eff...
متن کاملElectrostatic interaction energies of homogeneous cubic charge distributions
The starting point is the problem of finding the interaction energy of two coinciding homogeneous cubic charge distributions. The brute force method of subdividing the cube into N sub-cubes and doing the sums results in slow convergence because of the Coulomb singularity. Using symmetry and algebra the Coulomb singularities can be eliminated. This leads to an accurate numerical algorithm as wel...
