contents This paper proposes a direct-indirect mixed Burton-Miller boundary integral equation for solving Helmholtz scattering problems with transmissive scatterers. The proposed formulation has three unknowns, one more than the number of unknowns for the ordinary formulation. However, we can construct efficient numerical solvers based on LU factorization by exploiting the sparse alignment of the boundary integral operators of the proposed formulation. Numerical examples demonstrate that the direct solver based on the proposed formulation is approximately 40% faster than the ordinary formulation when the LU-factorization-based solver is used. In addition, the proposed formulation is applied to a fast direct solver employing LU factorization in its algorithm. In the application to the fast direct solver, the proxy method with a weak admissibility low-rank approximation is developed. The speedup achieved using the proposed formulation is also shown to be effective in finding nonlinear eigenvalues, which are related to the uniqueness of the solution, in boundary value problems. Furthermore, the well-posedness of the proposed boundary integral equation is established for scatterers with boundaries of class $C^2$, using the mapping property of boundary integral operators in Hölder space.
