SynopsisTransmission problems for the vector Helmholtz equation are considered. By using boundary integral equation methods, existence and uniqueness theorems in the form of Fredholm's alternative are established.


The question of non-uniqueness in boundary integral equation formu­lations of exterior problems for the Helmholtz equation has recently been resolved with the use of additional radiating multipoles in the definition of the Green function. The present note shows how this modification may be included in a rigorous formalism and presents an explicit choice of co­efficients of the added terms that is optimal in the sense of minimizing the least-squares difference between the modified and exact Green functions.

SummaryA comparison is made of two recently published integral equation methods for calculating the high subsonic flow around lifting and non-lifting aerofoils. It is shown that one method leads to a non-unique solution.
