Abstract
In this paper, we consider solving the single layer integral equa-
tion (3) on a closed surface in R3. The numerical method is based on
Galerkin's method with spherical polynomials as the approximation-
ing functions. We study the error of the approximating solution in
suitable Sobolev spaces.
Key Words: Spherical polynomials, Sobolev space, Galerkin's method.
