In this work, we present novel second-kind integral equations for its solution which obviate the need for constructing a suitable parametrix to approximate the in-surface Green's function. The resulting integral equations are well-conditioned and compatible with standard fast multipole methods and iterative linear algebraic solvers, as well as more modern fast direct solvers.
