Abstract/Summary

We propose a boundary element method for problems of time-harmonic acoustic scattering by multiple obstacles in two dimensions, at least one of which is a convex polygon. By combining a Hybrid Numerical Asymptotic (HNA) approximation space on the convex polygon with standard polynomial-based approximation spaces on each of the other obstacles, we show that the number of degrees of freedom required in the HNA space to maintain a given accuracy needs to grow only logarithmically with respect to the frequency, as opposed to the (at least) linear growth required by standard polynomial-based schemes. This method is thus most effective when the convex polygon is many wavelengths in diameter and the small obstacles have a combined perimeter comparable to the problem wavelength.
