We present and analyze a non-conforming domain decomposition approximation for a hypersingular operator governed by the Helmholtz equation in three dimensions. This operator appears when considering the corresponding Neumann problem in unbounded domains exterior to open surfaces. We consider small wave numbers and low-order approximations with Nitsche coupling across interfaces. Under appropriate assumptions on mapping properties of the weakly singular and hypersingular operators with Helmholtz kernel, we prove that this method converges almost quasi-optimally. Numerical experiments confirm our error estimate.
