We consider the classical coupled, combined‐field integral equation formulations for time‐harmonic acoustic scattering by a sound soft bounded obstacle. In recent work, we have proved lower and upper bounds on theL2condition numbers for these formulations and also on the norms of the classical acoustic single‐ and double‐layer potential operators. These bounds to some extent make explicit the dependence of condition numbers on the wave numberk, the geometry of the scatterer, and the coupling parameter. For example, with the usual choice of coupling parameter they show that, while the condition number grows likek1/3ask→∞, when the scatterer is a circle or sphere, it can grow as fast ask7/5for a class of “trapping” obstacles. In this article, we prove further bounds, sharpening and extending our previous results. In particular, we show that there exist trapping obstacles for which the condition numbers grow as fast as exp(γk), for someγ> 0, ask→∞through some sequence. This result depends on exponential localization bounds on Laplace eigenfunctions in an ellipse that we prove in the appendix. We also clarify the correct choice of coupling parameter in 2D for lowk. In the second part of the article, we focus on the boundary element discretisation of these operators. We discuss the extent to which the bounds on the continuous operators are also satisfied by their discrete counterparts and, via numerical experiments, we provide supporting evidence for some of the theoretical results, both quantitative and asymptotic, indicating further which of the upper and lower bounds may be sharper. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
