We consider time-harmonic acoustic scattering by planar sound-soft (Dirichlet) and sound-hard (Neumann) screens. In contrast to previous studies, in which the domain occupied by the screen is assumed to be Lipschitz or smoother, we consider…
We present a novel analysis of the boundary integral operators associated to the wave equation. The analysis is done entirely in the time-domain by employing tools from abstract evolution equations in Hilbert spaces and semi-group theory.…

We propose a new space-time variational formulation for wave equation initial-boundary value problems. The key property is that the formulation is coercive (sign-definite) and continuous in a norm stronger than $H^1(Q)$, $Q$ being the…
We consider the two-dimensional high-frequency plane wave scattering problem in the exterior of a finite collection of disjoint, compact, smooth, strictly convex obstacles with Neumann boundary conditions. Using integral equation…
We study time-harmonic scattering in $\mathbb{R}^n$ ($n=2,3$) by a planar screen (a "crack" in the context of linear elasticity), assumed to be a non-empty bounded relatively open subset $\Gamma$ of the hyperplane $\mathbb{R}^{n-1}\times…
Generalized impedance boundary conditions are effective, approximate boundary conditions that describe scattering of waves in situations where the wave interaction with the material involves multiple scales. In particular, this includes…
We investigate a time-domain Galerkin boundary element method for the wave equation outside a Lipschitz obstacle in an absorbing half-space. A priori estimates are presented for both closed surfaces and screens, and we discuss the relevant…
The left-right operator splitting method is studied for the efficient calculation of acoustic fields scattered by arbitrary rough surfaces. Here the governing boundary integral is written as a sum of left- and right-going components, and…
We consider time-harmonic acoustic scattering by planar sound-soft (Dirichlet) and sound-hard (Neumann) screens embedded in $\mathbb{R}^n$ for $n = 2$ or $3$. In contrast to previous studies in which the screen is assumed to be a bounded…
We consider the classical coupled, combined-field integral equation formulations for time-harmonic acoustic scattering by a sound soft bounded obstacle. In recent work, we have proved lower and upper bounds on the $L^2$ condition numbers…
We solve acoustic scattering problems by means of the isogeometric boundary integral equation method. In order to avoid spurious modes, we apply the combined field integral equations for either sound-hard scatterers or sound-soft…
Here we obtain explicit formulae for bounds on the complex electrical polarizability at a given frequency of an inclusion with known volume that follow directly from the quasistatic bounds of Bergman and Milton on the effective complex…
A boundary integral formulation for the solution of the Helmholtz equation is developed in which all traditional singular behaviour in the boundary integrals is removed analytically. The numerical precision of this approach is illustrated…
The boundary element method is an efficient algorithm for simulating acoustic propagation through homogeneous objects embedded in free space. The conditioning of the system matrix strongly depends on physical parameters such as density,…
