We present an alternative approach based on high-order quadrature and a high-order finite element method utilizing Taylor model methods. An n-th order Taylor model of a multivariate function f consists of an $n$-th order multivariate Taylor polynomial, representing a high order approximation of the underlying function f, and a remainder error bound interval for verification, width of which scales in (n+1)-st order.
The solution of the Laplace equation in space is first represented as a Helmholtz integral over the two-dimensional surface. The latter is executed by evaluating the kernel of the integral as a Taylor model of both the two surface variables and the three volume variables inside the cell of interest. Finally, the integration over the surface variables is executed, resulting in a local Taylor model of the solution within one cell. Examples of the method will be given, demonstrating achieved accuracy with verification.
