Costabel and Stephan, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 27 (1990) 1212–1226). This new formulation allows us to take advantage of techniques from Hsiao et al., Computing 25 (1980) 557–566 to compute the boundary integral terms using simple quadrature formulas. We provide error estimates for the Galerkin method and prove that the corresponding fully discrete scheme preserves the optimal rates of convergencengExterior boundary value problemBoundary element methodFinite element methodjournal articleopen access
