Summary: In the present paper we describe, how to use the Galerkin-method efficiently in solving boundary integral equations. In the first part we show how the elements of the system matrix can be computed in a reasonable time by using suitable coordinate transformations. These techniques can be applied to a wide class of integral equations (including hypersingular kernels) on piecewise smooth surfaces in 3-D, approximated by spline functions of arbitrary degree. In the second part we show, how to use the panel-clustering technique for the Galerkin-method. This technique was developed by Hackbusch and Nowak in [6,7] for the collocation method. In that paper it was shown, that a matrix-vector-multiplication can be computed with a number of $O(n \log^k^+^1n)$ operations by storing $O(n \log^k n)$ sizes. For the panel-clustering-techniques applied to Galerkin-discretizations we get similar asymptotic estimates for the expense, while the reduction of the consumption for practical problems (1 000-15 000 unknowns) turns out to be stronger than for the collocation method. (English)
