Circulant preconditioners for ill-conditioned boundary integral equations from potential equations. (English) Zbl 0932.65122

The authors study preconditioning of the Galerkin discretization of Symm’s integral equation on a smooth closed curve. They construct a circulant integral operator minimizing the distance to Symm’s integral operator with respect to the Hilbert-Schmidt norm. The discretization of the circulant integral gives the circulant preconditioner used for preconditioned conjugate gradient solving of the linear system. The spectral equivalence is proved and two numerical examples are given.
