Abstract

In this paper we propose a new boundary integral method for the numerical solution of Neumann problems for the Laplace equation, posed in exterior planar domains with piecewise smooth boundaries. Using the single layer representation of the potential, the differential problem is reformulated as a classical boundary integral equation. The use of a smoothing transformation and the introduction of a modified Gauss–Legendre quadrature formula for the approximation of the singular integrals, which turns out to be convergent, leads us to apply a Nyström type method for the numerical solution of the integral equation. We solve some test problems and present the numerical results in order to show the efficiency of the proposed procedure.
