On the condition number of boundary integral operators for the exterior Dirichlet problem for the Helmholtz equation

Abstract: Summary. Brakhage and Werner, Leis and Panich suggested to reduce the exterior Dirichlet boundary value problem for the Helmholtz equation to an integral equation of the second kind which is uniquely solvable for all frequencies by seeking the solution in the form of a combined double-and single-layer potential. We present an analysis of the appropriate choice of the parameter coupling the double-and single-layer potential in order to minimize the condition number of the integral operator.

“…The argument quickly shifted from introducing µ in order to avoid the potential catastrophic errors in the original equations of Section 4.3.1 to considering an optimal value. For several decades, based originally on the works of Kress [395][396][397][398] and the further works of Amini [399], there has been a strong recommendation, with supporting research, that µ = i k is reasonably close to the 'optimal' choice, as least for the simple boundaries, like spheres. Obviously i k is unsuitable for low wavenumbers, as the parameter would be large, violating the condition |µ| ∞, and the second equation would dominate and a cap on its value is recommended, for example,…”
