Methods for the Evaluation of Regular, Weakly Singular and Strongly Singular Surface Reaction Integrals Arising in Method of Moments
Abstract
The accurate and fast evaluation of surface reaction integrals for Method of Moments computations is presented. Starting at the classification of the integrals into regular and weakly, strongly and nearly singular integrals, appropriate methods are presented that handle each. A Gauss-Legendre quadrature rule evaluates regular integrals. For singular integrals, the singularity is lifted or weakened by an extraction of the singularity, a transform to polar coordinates or a domain transform. The resulting regular integral is in turn solved by a quadrature rule. The different methods are finally applied to an example, and the resulting accuracy tested against the analytical result. The presented methods are general enough to be used as integration methods for integrals with various degrees of singularity and is not limited to Method of Moments.
