Abstract
We consider the variational formulation of the electric field integral equation on a Lipschitz polyhedral surface Γ. We study the Galerkin boundary element discretisations based on the lowest-order Raviart-Thomas surface elements on a sequence of anisotropic meshes algebraically graded towards the edges of Γ. We establish quasioptimal
convergence of Galerkin solutions under a mild restriction on the strength
of grading. The key ingredient of our convergence analysis are new componentwise
stability properties of the Raviart-Thomas interpolant on anisotropic elements.
