The integral equations arising from the Green's formula, applied to the two‐dimensional Helmholtz equation defined in a limited domain, are considered and the presence of instabilities in their numerical solution, when a real Green's function is adopted, is pointed out. A complete study has been carried out for a circular domain and the conditions under which such instabilities can occur in a domain of arbitrary geometry have been investigated. In particular, it has been shown that in every case the use of a complex Green's function is able to avoid their presence.
