This is a review presenting an overview of the developments in boundary integral formulations of the acoustic scattering problems. Generally, the problem is formulated in one of two ways viz. Green’s representation formula, and the Layer-theoretic formulation utilizing either a simple-layer or a double-layer potential. The review presents and expounds the major contributions in this area over t...

In the numerical treatment of integral equations of the first kind using boundary element methods (BEM), the author and E. P. Stephan have derived a posteriori error estimates as tools for both reliable computation and self-adaptive mesh refinement. So far, efficiency of those a posteriori error estimates has been indicated by numerical examples in model situations only. This work affirms effic...

This paper presents an easy numerical implementation of the Burton and Miller (BM) formulation, where the hypersingular Helmholtz integral is regularized by identities from the associated Laplace equation and thus needing only the evaluation of weakly singular integrals. The Helmholtz equation and its normal derivative are combined directly with combinations at edge or corner collocation nodes ...

This paper focuses on the fuzzy Volterra integro-differential equation of nth order of the second-kind with nonlinear fuzzy kernel and initial values. The derived integral equations are solvable, the solutions of which are unique under certain conditions. The existence and uniqueness of the solutions are investigated in a theorem and an upper boundary is found for solutions. Comparison of the e...
