On boundary integral equation methods in stationary electromagnetic reflection

Part of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics book series (LNM,volume 846)

Abstract

Analogously to the methods proposed by Brakhage, Werner, Leis, Panich, Burton and Miller for exterior boundary-value problems for the scalar Helmholtz equation (this means for boundary-value problems from acoustic reflection), exterior boundary-value problems from the mathematical theory of electromagnetic reflection at perfect conductors are reduced to integral equations which are uniquely solvable for all frequencies. These integral equations are singular and require certain regularization techniques.

Keywords

  • Integral Equation
