Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Fredholm integral equations that appear in Boundary Element Methods often involve integrals with weakly singular kernels. Once the domain of integration is discretized into flat triangular elements, these weakly singular kernels become strongly singular or near-singular. Common methods to compute these integrals when the kernel is a Green’s function include coordinate transformations, polar coordinates with closed analytic formulas, and singularity extraction. However, these methods do not generalize well to the normal derivatives of Green’s functions due to the strongly singular behavior of these functions on triangular elements. We provide methods to integrate both the Green’s function and its normal derivative on smooth surfaces discretized by triangular elements in three dimensions for many commonly encountered differential operators. For strongly singular integrals involving normal derivatives of Green’s functions, we introduce a more refined approximation called Quadratic Surface Approximation. By using geometric information of the true surface of integration in combination with push-forward maps, it is significantly more accurate than the naive method of setting the singular integrals to zero, while being faster than adaptive refinement methods. We provide an algorithm for explicit computations on triangles, and present necessary analytic formulas that the algorithm requires in the appendix.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
