A well-conditioned integral equation for iterative solution of scattering problems with a variable Leontovitch boundary condition
ESAIM: Modélisation mathématique et analyse numérique, Tome 44 (2010) no. 4, pp. 781-801.

The construction of a well-conditioned integral equation for iterative solution of scattering problems with a variable Leontovitch boundary condition is proposed. A suitable parametrix is obtained by using a new unknown and an approximation of the transparency condition. We prove the well-posedness of the equation for any wavenumber. Finally, some numerical comparisons with well-tried method prove the efficiency of the new formulation.
