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(M2N4) to O(MN4), where Nis 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.
