Conformal-radius coefficient-growth conjecture for the Method of Fundamental Solutions

At least 18 years old · documented by

Let Omega Omega be a simply connected domain with analytic boundary, and let GammaR={z:ρz=R} Gamma_R=\{z:\rho_z=R\} be the curve of points with conformal radius R>1R>1. Choose the MFS charge points equally spaced in conformal angle on GammaR Gamma_R. Let ρ\rho be the conformal distance of the closest singularity of the analytic continuation of uu, let tt be the MFS error, and let α\boldsymbol{\alpha} be the vector of coefficients of the MFS basis functions that minimizes tt. Conformal-radius coefficient-growth conjecture. There are constants CC independent of NN and γ>1\gamma>1 such that

∣α∣≥CγN|\boldsymbol{\alpha}|\geq C\gamma^N

if and only if R>ρR>\rho. This conjecture generalizes the observed coefficient-growth dichotomy from the disk to general analytic domains: exponential growth is predicted precisely when the charge-point curve lies beyond the nearest singularity.
