Numerical solution to a two-dimensional hypersingular integral equation and sound propagation in urban areas

A mathematical model of sound propagation from a noise source in urban areas is constructed. The exterior Neumann problem for the scalar Helmholtz equation is reduced to a system of hypersingular integral equations. A numerical method for solving the system of integral equations is described. The convergence of the quadrature formulas underlying the numerical method is estimated. Numerical results are presented for particular applications.
