Abstract:
In this paper, we consider the evaluation of surface integrals over piecewise smooth surfaces in three dimensions. The method consists in first replacing a parametrization for the surface and the integrand function by piecewise polynomial interpolants of them, and second, using a numerical integration scheme for the resulting integral. The order of convergence is higher than would be expected based on the underlying interpolation theory.References
