Abstract
In this dissertation we have applied Trefethen and Gopal's Lightning Method to solve the Helmholtz equation in the exterior of two dimensional piecewise smooth domains. The background theory motivating the method is presented, and we explore the optimal method implementation for the unit square, which is subsequently used to give a guide on parameter selection for a general region. The behaviour of the computed solutions is verified to act in accordance with our intuition and current understanding of wave propagation, and we show that the wave decays to approximately 0 in the shadow region.
