In this paper, we present a new numerical formulation of solving the boundary integral equations reformulated from the Helmholtz equation. The boundaries of the problems are assumed to be smooth closed contours. The solution on the boundary is treated as a periodic function, which is in turn approxi

โฆ Synopsis
A Neumann boundary value problem of the Helmholtz equation in the exterior circular domain is reduced into an equivalent natural boundary integral equation. Using our trigonometric wavelets and the Galerkin method, the obtained stiffness matrix is symmetrical and circulant, which lead us to a fast numerical method based on fast Fourier transform. Furthermore, we do not need to compute the entries of the stiffness matrix. Especially, our method is also efficient when the wave number k in the Helmholtz equation is very large.
