A relatively straightforward Boundary Element Method (BEM) for the numerical solution of the exterior Helmholtz problem is specified in a tutorial fashion. The algorithm employs the Combined Helmholtz Integral Equation Formulation (CHIEF) and then Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to solve the resulting system. Its accuracy and convergence characteristics are examined, and compared to the simplest boundary element method for exterior acoustics, the Helmholtz Integral Equation Formulation or HIEF. Boundary element and auxiliary (CHIEF) point requirements to obtain BEM solutions of a desired accuracy are described. This particular CHIEF algorithm is found to largely avoid the numerical difficulties of the HIEF technique while retaining theoretical and practical implementation simplicity.


A detailed discussion of Nekrasov’s approach to the steady water-wave problems leads to a new integral equation formulation of the periodic problem. This development allows the adaptation of the methods of Amick & Toland (1981) to show the convergence of periodic waves to solitary waves in the long-wave limit. In addition, it is shown how the classical integral equation formulation due to Nekrasov leads, via the Maximum Principle, to new results about qualitative features of periodic waves for which there has long been a global existence theory (Krasovskii 1961, Keady & Norbury 1978).
