In this paper we solve several boundary value problems for the Helmholtz equation on polygonal domains. We observe that when the problems are formulated as the boundary integral equations of potential theory, the solutions are representable by series of appropriately chosen Bessel functions. In addition to being analytically perspicuous, the resulting expressions lend themselves to the construction of accurate and efficient numerical algorithms. The results are illustrated by a number of numerical examples.

In this paper we propose numerical methods for solving interior and exterior boundary-value problems for the Helmholtz and Laplace equations in complex three-dimensional domains. The method is based on their reduction to boundary integral equations in R2. Using the potentials of the simple and double layers, we obtain boundary integral equations of the Fredholm type with respect to unknown density for Dirichlet and Neumann boundary value problems. As a result of applying integral equations along the boundary of the domain, the dimension of problems is reduced by one. In order to approximate solutions of the obtained weakly singular Fredholm integral equations we suggest general numerical method based on spline approximation of solutions and on the use of adaptive cubatures that take into account the singularities of the kernels. When constructing cubature formulas, essentially non-uniform graded meshes are constructed with grading exponent that depends on the smoothness of the input data. The effectiveness of the method is illustrated with some numerical experiments.

In a recent paper the authors considered the transmission problem for the Helmholtz equation by using a reformulation of the problem in terms of a pair of coupled boundary integral equations with modified Green's functions as kernels. In this note we settle the question of the unique solvability of these modified boundary integral equations.

Many of the boundary value problems traditionally cast as partial differential equations can be reformulated as integral equations over the boundary. After an introduction to boundary integral equations, this review describes some of the methods which have been proposed for their approximate solution. It discusses, as simply as possible, some of the techniques used in their error analysis, and points to areas in which the theory is still unsatisfactory.
