Abstract
In this talk I will describe a numerical implementation of the Fokas method to solving the Laplace equation in a convex polygon. This follows work by Fokas (2001, 2003) and Ashon (2012) which formulates a weak variational approach in the case of a convex polygon. This method uses strongly the analyticity of the Fourier Transform, and a powerful theorem by Paley and Wiener. The computational method uses a Galerkin approach with a natural sinc basis for the Paley-Wiener space. We discuss computational issues to this approach and possible resolutions relating to its implementation. The role of rigorous analysis cannot be underestimated in resolving these computational difficulties.
