11.3.1 Helmholtz solver using Brakhage-Werner formulation

Combined field integral equations combine single and double layer integral operators, one simple option is the Brakhage-Werner formulation.

The solution is represented as

\[u = (i \kappa S - D) \phi,\]

where \(\phi\) solve the boundary integral equation

\[\big( \tfrac{1}{2} + K + i \kappa V \big) \phi = u_{in} \qquad \text{on} \, \Gamma\]
