Abstract
We present a high-order Nystr\"om method for Neumann boundary
value problems on domains with corners. Key difficulties which
must be addressed in the solution of the associated (second-kind)
integral equation are related to the fact that solutions themselves
are unbounded. This not only makes integration difficult, but also
gives rise to (potentially enormous) subtractive cancellation.
We overcome these difficulties by exploiting knowledge of the
asymptotic behavior of the integral equation solution, thereby
providing a high-order method. Numerical experiments demonstrate
its efficacy on a variety of domains, including those with corner
angles as small as \pi/100 and as large as 199\pi/100.
