The application of integral equation methods to exterior boundary-value problems for Laplace’s equation and for the Helmholtz (or reduced wave) equation is discussed. In the latter case the straightforward formulation in terms of a single integral equation may give rise to difficulties of non-uniqueness; it is shown that uniqueness can be restored by deriving a second integral equation and suitably combining it with the first. Finally, an outline is given of methods for transforming the integral operators with strongly singular kernels which occur in the second equation.

AbstractAlgorithms are developed by means of which certain connected pairs of Fredholm integral equations of the first and second kinds can be converted into Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. The methods are then used to obtain the solutions of two different sets of triple integral equations tht occur in mixed boundary value problems involving Laplace' equation and the wave equation respectively.
