Integral Equation for the Finite Depth Green Function at Surface

We want to solve


\phi(x) =  \int_{-L}^{L}G(x,\xi)
\left(
\alpha\phi(\xi) - w(\xi)
\right)d \xi

where G(x,ξ) is the Free-Surface Green Function for two-dimensional waves, with singularity at the water surface. We break the surface into N evenly spaced point xn = − L = hn where h = 2L / N and n=0,1,\dots,N
