Abstract

Evaluating the Newton potential is crucial for efficiently solving the boundary integral equation of the Dirichlet boundary value problem of the Poisson equation. In the context of the Fourier-Garlerkin method for solving the boundary integral equation, we propose a fast algorithm for evaluating Fourier coefficients of the Newton potential by using a sparse grid approximation. When the forcing function of the Poisson equation expressed in the polar coordinates has mth-order bounded mixed derivatives, the proposed algorithm achieves an accuracy of order π’ͺ(n-m log3 n), with requiring π’ͺ(n log2 n) number of arithmetics for the computation, where n is the number of quadrature points used in one coordinate direction. With the help of this algorithm, the boundary integral equation derived from the Poisson equation can be efficiently solved by a fast fully discrete Fourier-Garlerkin method.
