abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">This paper proposes a new technique to speed up the computation of the
matrix of spectral collocation discretizations of surface single and double layer operators
over a spheroid. The layer densities are approximated by a spectral expansion
of spherical harmonics and the spectral collocation method is then used to solve surface
integral equations of potential problems in a spheroid. With the proposed technique,
the computation cost of collocation matrix entries is reduced from O(M<sup>2</sup>N<sup>4</sup>) to
O(MN<sup>4</sup>), where N<sup>2&nbsp;</sup>is the number of spherical harmonics (i.e., size of the matrix) and
M is the number of one-dimensional integration quadrature points. Numerical results
demonstrate the spectral accuracy of the method.</p>},
