Convergence estimates for a plane elasticity problem solved by the Galerkin boundary integral formulation with NURBS

Abstract A classical mixed boundary-value problem of linear elasticity in two dimensions in the Galerkin boundary integral formulation is considered. We prove a-priori error estimates of the solution to this problem by the isogeometric adaptive method using NURBS. The estimates include approximation of the boundary of the domain.
