Abstract

The numerical solution of the Helmholtz eigenvalue problem is considered. The application of the boundary element method reduces it to that of a non-linear eigenvalue problem. Through a polynomial approximation with respect to the wavenumber, the non-linear eigenvalue problem is reduced to a standard generalised eigenvalue problem. The method is applied to the test problems of a three-dimensional sphere with an axisymmetric boundary condition and a two-dimensional square.
