Abstract English A robust and general solver for Laplace’s equation on the interior of a simply connected<br> domain in the plane is described and tested. The solver handles general piecewise smooth<br> domains and Dirichlet, Neumann, and Robin boundary conditions. It is based on an<br> integral equation formulation of the problem. Difficulties due to changes in boundary<br> conditions and corners, cusps, or other examples of non-smoothness of the boundary are<br> handled using a recent technique called recursive compressed inverse preconditioning. The<br> result is a rapid and very accurate solver which is general in scope, its performance is<br> demonstrated via some challenging numerical tests.
