Abstract:
A new technique for machine precision evaluation of singular and nearly singular potential integrals with 1/R singularities is presented. The numerical quadrature scheme is based on a new rational expression for the integrands, obtained by a cancellation procedure. In particular, by using library routines for Gauss quadrature of rational functions readily available in the literature, this new expression permits the exact numerical integration of singular static potentials associated with polynomial source distributions. The rules to achieve the desired numerical accuracy for singular and nearly singular static and dynamic potential integrals are presented and discussed, and several numerical examples are provided.
TL;DR: This paper presents a systematic, high-order approach that works for any singularity (including hypersingular kernels), based only on the assumption that the field induced by the integral operator is locally smooth when restricted to either the interior or the exterior.
TL;DR: In this paper, the singular integrals for coincident, edge adjacent and vertex adjacent planar and quadratic curvilinear triangular elements are computed using a series of variable transformations, able to cancel both weak (1/R) and strong ( 1/R2) singularities.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a novel approach for evaluating HSIs and SSIs based on the Stokes' theorem, which is much simpler and more friendly in implementation since no polar coordinates or extra coordinate transformation are involved.
TL;DR: In this paper, a conformal transformation is used to preserve the geometry of the curved physical element and a sigmoidal transformation is proposed to make the quadrature points more concentrated around the near singularity.
TL;DR: In this article, weakly singular integrals over triangular and quadrangular domains, arising in the mixed potential integral equation formulations, are computed with the help of novel generalized Cartesian product rules, originally developed for the integration of functions with singularities at the endpoints of the associated integration interval.

Q1. What are the contributions in "Machine precision evaluation of singular and nearly singular potential integrals by use of gauss quadrature formulas for rational functions" ?
A new technique for machine precision evaluation of singular and nearly singular potential integrals with singularities is presented. The rules to achieve the desired numerical accuracy for singular and nearly singular static and dynamic potential integrals are presented and discussed, and several numerical examples are provided. In particular, by using library routines for Gauss quadrature of rational functions readily available in the literature, this new expression permits the exact numerical integration of singular static potentials associated with polynomial source distributions.
Q2. How many radial samples can be used to achieve the floating error level?
Saturation is reached below the floating error level when thenumber of radial samples is equal or lower than four, whereas one can attain the floating error level with five or more radial samples.
Q3. What are the properties of the potential integrals on 3D objects?
Three fundamental properties are valid for hyper-straight elements: 1) the integration coordinates defined by their cancellation procedure define the parametric coordinates of all sub-elements via the same formula (see (3), (4), (38), (40) below); 2) the point about which the element is subdivided is the center of similarity transformations (see Section V and Appendix III); 3) the potential integrals on 3D hyper-straight elements are simplified by the application of these transformations.
Q4. How are the results obtained for the triangular element?
The rules to achieve machine-precision accuracy in the static and dynamic case of 2D integrals are provided, and several numerical results for the triangular element are presented.
Q5. How can one get the result in a displaced case?
The computational time to get the best result with [24] in the displaced case is not optimum since the pole location varies with , so that to get the best result one has to re-evaluate thesample-points in , and their associated weights, whenever is changed.
Q6. How many radial samples are used to achieve convergence of Gautschi results?
The number of radial samples to achieve convergence of the Gautschi results agrees with the number reported in Table IV; convergence of the results is obtained here with 11 transverse samples, that is for , again in agreement with Tables IV and V. Fig. 11 illustrates that usually the most difficult near-singular integrals are those relative to functions of higher order that are significantly different from zero in the neighborhood of the normal projection of the observation point onto the plane of the source domain.
