Boundary Integral Equation Methods Applied to Wave Problems.

Abstract

An introduction is given to the application of boundary integral equation methods to the areas of wave propagation, radiation and scattering. Such applications were among the first for this method which made use of the power of modern digital computers; however, there is a long history of integral methods in this field. The emphasis here is on fundamental concepts coupled with illustrations of the application of this method. The breadth of the applications of this approach precludes any attempt at overall completeness and many details are left to an extensive, but undoubtedly incomplete, list of references. There is however sufficient material to formulate the solution of most problems, with some of the inevitable pitfalls indicated. (Author)
