Evaluation of Weakly Singular Integrals Via Generalized Cartesian Product Rules Based on the Double Exponential Formula

Various 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. The proposed integration schemes utilize the so-called double exponential quadrature rule, originally developed for the integration of functions with singularities at the endpoints of the associated integration interval. The final formulas can easily be incorporated in the context of singularity subtraction, singularity cancellation and fully-numerical methods, often used for the evaluation of multidimensional singular integrals. The performed numerical experiments clearly reveal the superior overall performance of the proposed method over the existing numerical integration methods.
