This paper is concerned with the design of two different classes of Galerkin boundary element methods for the solution of high-frequency sound-hard scattering problems in the exterior of two-dimensional smooth convex scatterers. Both methods require a small increase in the order of k^ϵ (for any ϵ >0) in the number of degrees of freedom to guarantee frequency independent precisions with increasing wavenumber k. In addition, the accuracy of the numerical solutions are independent of frequency provided sufficiently many terms in the asymptotic expansion are incorporated into the integral equation formulation. Numerical results validate our theoretical findings.
