This paper proposes a new family of special Tretz elements in which the boundary conditions on an internal curve (stiener, hole, etc.) are fulยฎlled by the least squares procedure. The author anticipates diculties with conditioning of such elements and therefore proposes a method to improve the aspec

โฆ Synopsis
The numerical and spectral performance of novel inรฟnite elements for exterior problems of time-harmonic acoustics are examined. The formulation is based on a functional which provides a general framework for domain-based computation of exterior problems. Two prominent features simplify the task of discretization: the inรฟnite elements mesh the interface only and need not match the รฟnite elements on the interface. Various inรฟnite element approximations for two-dimensional conรฟgurations with circular interfaces are reviewed. Numerical results demonstrate the good performance of these schemes. A simple study points to the proper interpretation of spectral results for the formulation. The spectral properties of these inรฟnite elements are examined with a view to the representation of physics and e cient numerical solution.

## Abstract A number of spheroidal and ellipsoidal infinite elements have been proposed for the solution of unbounded wave problems in the frequency domain, i.e solutions of the Helmholtz equation. These elements are widely believed to be more effective than conventional spherical infinite elements
