We study time-harmonic scattering in $mathbb{R}^n$ ($n=2,3$) by a planar screen (a crack in the context of linear elasticity), assumed to be a non-empty bounded relatively open subset $Gamma$ of the hyperplane $mathbb{R}^{n-1}times {0}$, on which impedance (Robin) boundary conditions are imposed. In contrast to previous studies, $Gamma$ can have arbitrarily rough (possibly fractal) boundary. To obtain well-posedness for such $Gamma$ we show how the standard impedance boundary value problem and its associated system of boundary integral equations must be supplemented with additional solution regularity conditions, which hold automatically when $partialGamma$ is smooth. We show that the associated system of boundary integral operators is compactly perturbed coercive in an appropriate function space setting, strengthening previous results. This permits the use of Mosco convergence to prove convergence of boundary element approximations on smoother prefractal screens to the limiting solution on a fractal screen. We present accompanying numerical results, validating our theoretical convergence results, for three-dimensional scattering by a Koch snowflake and a square snowflake.

We describe some recent advances in the numerical solution of acoustic scattering problems. A major focus of the paper is the efficient solution of high frequency scattering problems via hybrid numerical-asymptotic boundary element methods. We also make connections to the unified transform method due to A.S. Fokas and co-authors, analysing particular instances of this method, proposed by J.A. DeSanto and co-authors, for problems of acoustic scattering by diffraction gratings.
We present a solution for the scattered field caused by an incident wave interacting with an infinite cascade of blades with complex boundary conditions. This extends previous studies by allowing the blades to be compliant, porous or satisfying a generalised impedance condition. Beginning with the convected wave equation, we employ Fourier transforms to obtain an integral equation amenable to the Wiener--Hopf method. This Wiener--Hopf system is solved using a method that avoids the factorisation of matrix functions. The Fourier transform is inverted to obtain an expression for the acoustic potential function that is valid throughout the entire domain. We observe that the principal effect of complex boundary conditions is to perturb the zeros of the Wiener--Hopf kernel, which correspond to the duct modes in the inter-blade region. We focus efforts on understanding the role of porosity, and present a range of results on sound transmission and generation. The behaviour of the duct modes is discussed in detail in order to explain the physical mechanisms behind the associated noise reductions. In particular, we show that cut-on duct modes do not exist for arbitrary porosity coefficients. Conversely, the acoustic modes are unchanged by modifications to the boundary conditions. Consequently, we observe that even modest values of porosity can result in reductions in the sound power level of $5$ dB for the first mode and $20$ dB for the second mode. The solution is essentially analytic (the only numerical requirements are matrix inversion and root finding) and is therefore extremely rapid to compute.
Collocation boundary element methods for integral equations are easier to implement than Galerkin methods because the elements of the discretization matrix are given by lower-dimensional integrals. For that same reason, the matrix assembly also requires fewer computations. However, collocation methods typically yield slower convergence rates and less robustness, compared to Galerkin methods. We explore the extent to which oversampled collocation can improve both robustness and convergence rates. We show that in some cases convergence rates can actually be higher than the corresponding Galerkin method, although this requires oversampling at a faster than linear rate. In most cases of practical interest, oversampling at least lowers the error by a constant factor. This can still be a substantial improvement: we analyze an example where linear oversampling by a constant factor $J$ (leading to a rectangular system of size $JN times N$) improves the error at a cubic rate in the constant $J$. Furthermore, the oversampled collocation method is much less affected by a poor choice of collocation points, as we show how oversampling can lead to guaranteed convergence. Numerical experiments are included for the two-dimensional Helmholtz equation.
In this article, global stabilization results for the two dimensional (2D) viscous Burgers equation, that is, convergence of unsteady solution to its constant steady state solution with any initial data, are established using a nonlinear Neumann boundary feedback control law. Then, applying $C^0$-conforming finite element method in spatial direction, optimal error estimates in $L^infty(L^2)$ and in $L^infty(H^1)$- norms for the state variable and convergence result for the boundary feedback control law are derived. All the results preserve exponential stabilization property. Finally, several numerical experiments are conducted to confirm our theoretical findings.
In this paper the discrete eigenvalues of elliptic second order differential operators in $L^2(mathbb{R}^n)$, $n in mathbb{N}$, with singular $delta$- and $delta$-interactions are studied. We show the self-adjointness of these operators and derive equivalent formulations for the eigenvalue problems involving boundary integral operators. These formulations are suitable for the numerical computations of the discrete eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenfunctions by boundary element methods. We provide convergence results and show numerical examples.
