Overview

Computational analysis demonstrates layer potential representations on finitely connected tori, indicating faster spectral convergence for boundary value problems than existing approaches.

Key Points

  • To develop and analyze layer potential methods for representing harmonic functions on finitely connected tori without requiring lattice sums of free-space Green's functions.
  • Formulated layer potentials using a doubly periodic, nonharmonic Green's function expressed via Jacobi theta functions or modified Weierstrass sigma functions.
  • Proved compactness and boundary limit properties of single- and double-layer potential operators, explicitly constructing null spaces for boundaries with multiple connected components.
  • Implemented Nyström discretizations to compute solutions for Dirichlet, Neumann, and Steklov eigenvalue problems on domains with irregularly shaped holes.
  • Proved that the single- and double-layer potential operators are compact linear operators with boundary limit properties matching Euclidean domains.
  • Constructed explicit representations for the nontrivial null space of the Fredholm operator of the second kind associated with multi-component boundaries.
  • Demonstrated spectral convergence in numerical experiments, yielding faster convergence rates than the method of particular solutions for tori with irregular geometries.
