The BPX preconditioner for the single layer potential operator. (English) Zbl 0892.65071

The BPX preconditioner for the single layer potential operator is discussed. It is shown that the extreme eigenvalues of the preconditioner applied to the single layer potential operator are bounded independent of the number of unknowns. A description of an efficient implementation of the BPX algorithm is given.
