The numerical solution of the Helmholtz equation with nonlocal radiation boundary conditions is considered. We model sound wave propagation in a multilayered piecewise homogeneous medium. A fourth-order accurate collocated, boundary element method is used, where the solution inside the domain is computed through a representation integral. The method is shown to have the expected fourth-order co...

This paper investigates the analytical approximate solutions of singular fourth order four-point boundary value problems using reproducing kernel method (RKM). The solution obtained by using the method takes the form of a convergent series with easily computable components. However, the reproducing kernel method can not be used directly to solve singular fourth order four-point boundary value p...
