Methods for speeding up the boundary element solution of acoustic radiation problems are considered. The methods are based on solving the integral equation formulation of Burton and Miller for the exterior Helmholtz equation over a range of frequencies simultaneously. methods for speeding up the computation of the discrete forms of the integral operators and the solution of the linear systems that arise in the boundary element method are considered. A particular implementation of speed up methods is described. Results from the application of this to test problems are given.
