A coupling parameter is present in almost all the uniquely solvable boundary integral formulations of the Helmholtz equation in an exterior domain. Here we provide new insight into the well-known near optimal choice of this parameter by studying the asymptotic behaviour of the eigenvalues of the resulting boundary integral operators. By taking advantage of the recent results of Arnold and Wendland (1983, 1985) for the asymptotic convergence of collocation solution of strongly elliptic pseudo-differential operators we study the effect of numerical integration on the achievable accuracy of discrete collocation methods. We are then able to highlight an error in a recent paper by Kirkup (1992) which suggested that the coupling parameter should be inversely proportional to the number of collocation points.
