Abstract

In this article, the trigonometric wavelets are used as trial functions to discretize the natural boundary integral equation reduced from the biharmonic equation in an exterior circular. Consequently, we obtain a fast numerical method for the natural boundary integral equation which has an unique solution in the quotient space. We decompose the stiffness matrix in our numerical method into four symmetrical and circulant submatrices, and hence the solution of the associated linear algebraic system can be solved with the fast Fourier transform and the inverse fast Fourier transform instead of the inverse matrix. Examples are given for demonstrating that our method has good accuracy even though the exact solution is almost singular.
