Numerical analysis of the radiosity equation using the collocation method

Kendall Atkinson, David Da-Kwun Chien and Jaehoon Seol

Abstract

The collocation method for solving the occluded radiosity equation is examined, theoretically and empirically. Theoretical results are examined, including questions of superconvergence of the collocation solution. The use of “discontinuity meshing” is examined for both piecewise constant and piecewise linear collocation. Also, numerical integration of the collocation integrals is examined, and a near-analytic evaluation method is given.
