Linear operator equations $\mathcal {L}f = g$ are considered in the context of boundary element methods, where the operator $\mathcal {L}$ is equivariant, i.e., commutes with the actions of a given finite symmetry group. By introducing a generalization of Reynolds projectors, a decomposition of the identity operator is constructed, which in turn allows the decomposition of the problem $\mathcal {L}f = g$ into a finite number of symmetric subproblems. The data function g does not need to possess…
