These are 4 complex symmetric matrices that arise in modelling the acoustic scattering phenomenon. The fundamental operator is the Helmholtz equation with varying k and Dirichlet boundary conditions. All four problems come from a grid with 29 by 29 interior points. Some interior points are held fixed as conductors. Five and nine-point difference formulae are used depending on the value of k at points in the grid.
