Popis: We consider solving the exterior Dirichlet problem for the Helmholtz equation with the $h$-version of the boundary element method (BEM) using the standard second-kind combined-field integral equations. We prove a new, sharp bound on how the number of GMRES iterations must grow with the wavenumber $k$ to have the error in the iterative solution bounded independently of $k$ as $k\rightarrow \infty$ when the boundary of the obstacle is analytic and has strictly positive curvature. To our knowledge, this result is the first-ever sharp bound on how the number of GMRES iterations depends on the wavenumber for an integral equation used to solve a scattering problem. We also prove new bounds on how $h$ must decrease with $k$ to maintain $k$-independent quasi-optimality of the Galerkin solutions as $k \rightarrow \infty$ when the obstacle is nontrapping.
