We consider the Dirichlet boundary value problem

\[\begin{split}\left\{ \begin{array}{rcl l} \Delta u &=& 0, \quad &\Omega \subset \mathbb R^3\,,\\ \gamma_0 u&=& u_0, \quad &\Gamma = \partial \Omega\,.\end{array} \right.\end{split}\]

Let us choose the following ansatz for the solution \(u\in H^1(\Omega)\) (indirect ansatz)

\[u(x) = \underbrace{ \int\limits_\Gamma \displaystyle{\frac{1}{4\,\pi}\, \frac{1}{\| x-y\|} } \, j(y)\, \mathrm{d}\sigma_y }_{\displaystyle{ \mathrm{SL}(j) } }\]

and solve for the density \(j\in H^{-\frac12}(\Gamma)\) by the boundary element method, i.e. the numerical solution of the variational formulation

\[\forall \, v\in H^{-\frac12}(\Gamma): \quad \left\langle \gamma_0 \left(\mathrm{SL}(j)\right), v \right\rangle_{-\frac12} = \left\langle u_0, v\right\rangle_{-\frac12} \,.\]

Define the geometry \(\Omega \subset \mathbb R^3\) and create a mesh:

[2]:

sp = Sphere( (0,0,0), 1)
mesh = Mesh( OCCGeometry(sp).GenerateMesh(maxh=0.3)).Curve(4)

Create test and trial function finite element spaces for \(H^{-\frac12}(\Gamma)\) according to the given mesh:

[3]:

fesL2 = SurfaceL2(mesh, order=4, dual_mapping=True)
u,v = fesL2.TnT()

Define Dirichlet data \(u_0\) and compute the right hand side vector:

[4]:

u0 = 1/ sqrt( (x-1)**2 + (y-1)**2 + (z-1)**2 )
rhs = LinearForm (u0*v.Trace()*ds(bonus_intorder=3)).Assemble()

The discretisation of the above variational formulation leads to a system of linear equations, ie

\[\mathrm{V} \, \mathrm{j} = \mathrm{rhs} \,,\]

where \(\mathrm{V}\) is the single layer potential operator. \(\mathrm V\) is regular and symmetric.

Demo 1: Assemble the single layer operator \(V\) as dense matrix and solve for unknwon density \(j\):

[5]:

j = GridFunction(fesL2)
pre = BilinearForm(u*v*ds, diagonal=True).Assemble().mat.Inverse()
with TaskManager():
    V = SingleLayerPotentialOperator(fesL2, intorder=10)
    CG(mat = V.mat, pre=pre, rhs = rhs.vec, sol=j.vec, tol=1e-8, maxsteps=200, initialize=False, printrates=True)
