Convergence of adaptive 3D BEM for weakly singular integral equations based on isotropic mesh-refinement

چکیده
We consider the adaptive lowest-order boundary element method (ABEM) based on isotropic mesh-refinement for the weakly-singular integral equation for the 3D Laplacian. The proposed scheme resolves both, possible singularities of the solution as well as of the given data. The implementation thus only deals with discrete integral operators, i.e. matrices. We prove that the usual adaptive mesh-refining algorithm drives the corresponding error estimator to zero. Under an appropriate saturation assumption which is observed empirically, the sequence of discrete solutions thus tends to the exact solution within the energy norm.

Residual A-Posteriori Error Estimates in BEM: Convergence of h-Adaptive Algorithms
Galerkin methods for FEM and BEM based on uniform mesh refinement have a guaranteed rate of convergence. Unfortunately, this rate may be suboptimal due to singularities present in the exact solution. In numerical experiments, the optimal rate of convergence is regained when algorithms based on a-posteriori error estimation and adaptive mesh-refinement are used. This observation was proved mathe...
متن کاملReliable and e cient a posteriori error estimation for adaptive IGA boundary element methods for weakly - singular integral equations
We consider the Galerkin boundary element method (BEM) for weaklysingular integral equations of the first-kind in 2D. We analyze some residual-type a posteriori error estimator which provides a lower as well as an upper bound for the unknown Galerkin BEM error. The required assumptions are weak and allow for piecewise smooth parametrizations of the boundary, local mesh-refinement, and related s...

In this paper, we studied the numerical solution of nonlinear weakly singular Volterra-Fredholm integral equations by using the product integration method. Also, we shall study the convergence behavior of a fully discrete version of a product integration method for numerical solution of the nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral equations.

متن کاملA Posteriori Error Estimation for Adaptive Iga Boundary Element Methods
A posteriori error estimation and adaptive mesh-refinement are well-established and important tools for standard boundary element methods (BEM) for polygonal boundaries and piecewise polynomial ansatz functions (see e.g. the seminal work [1] for the derivation of the weighted-residual error estimator and [5] for convergence even with optimal rates). In contrast, the mathematically reliable a po...
متن کاملQuasi-optimal Convergence Rate for an Adaptive Boundary Element Method
For the simple layer potential V that is associated with the 3D Laplacian, we consider the weakly singular integral equation V φ = f . This equation is discretized by the lowest order Galerkin boundary element method. We prove convergence of an h-adaptive algorithm that is driven by a weighted residual error estimator. Moreover, we identify the approximation class for which the adaptive algorit...
