چکیده

Among the well-known constants in the theory of boundary integral equations are the coercivity constants of the single layer potential and the hypersingular boundary integral operator, and the contraction constant of the double layer potential. Whereas there have been rigorous studies how these constants depend on the size and aspect ratio of the underlying domain, only little is known on their dependency on the shape of the boundary. In this article, we consider the homogeneous Laplace equation and derive explicit estimates for the above mentioned constants in three dimensions. Using an alternative trace norm we make the dependency explicit in two geometric parameters, the so-called Jones parameter and the constant in Poincaré’s inequality. The latter one can be tracked back to the constant in an isoperimetric inequality. There are many domains with quite irregular boundaries, where these parameters stay bounded. Our results provide a new tool in the analysis of numerical methods for boundary integral equations. AMS Subject Classification (2010): 65R20, 65N38, 31C15

Wavenumber-explicit continuity and coerciv- ity estimates in acoustic scattering by planar screens

We study the classical first-kind boundary integral equation reformulations of time-harmonic acoustic scattering by planar soundsoft (Dirichlet) and sound-hard (Neumann) screens. We prove continuity and coercivity of the relevant boundary integral operators (the acoustic single-layer and hypersingular operators respectively) in appropriate fractional Sobolev spaces, with wavenumber-explicit bou...

Shape derivatives of boundary integral operators in electromagnetic scattering

We develop the shape derivative analysis of solutions to the problem of scattering of time-harmonic electromagnetic waves by a bounded penetrable obstacle. Since boundary integral equations are a classical tool to solve electromagnetic scattering problems, we study the shape differentiability properties of the standard electromagnetic boundary integral operators. To this end, we start with the ...

Finite-dimensional perturbations of linear operators and some applications to boundary integral equations

Finite-dimensional perturbing operators are constructed using some incomplete information about eigen-solutions of an original and/or adjoint generalized Fredholm operator equation (with zero index). Adding such perturbing operator to the original one reduces the eigen-space dimension and can, particularly, lead to an unconditionally and uniquely solvable perturbed equation. For the second kind...

A General Boundary Element Formulation for The Analysis of Viscoelastic Problems

The analysis of viscoelastic materials is one of the most important subjects in engineering structures. Several works have been so far made for the integral equation methods to viscoelastic problems. From the basic assumptions of viscoelastic constitutive equations and weighted residual techniques, a simple but effective Boundary Element (BE) formulation is developed for the Kelvin viscoelastic...

Numerical Estimation of Coercivity Constants for Boundary Integral Operators in Acoustic Scattering

Coercivity is an important concept for proving existence and uniqueness of solutions to variational problems in Hilbert spaces. But, while the existence of coercivity estimates is well known for many variational problems arising from partial differential equations, it is still an open problem in the context of boundary integral operators arising from acoustic scattering problems, where rigorous...
