On the diffraction of an electromagnetic pulse by a wedge

The diffraction by a conducting wedge of a transient electromagnetic disturbance in the form of a plane wave discontinuity having arbitrary polarization and direction of propagation is reduced to a pair of two-dimensional scalar problems. The solution to one of these is identical with that previously obtained for the analogous acoustical problem, while the second is attacked in a similar manner, using a Tschplygin transformation to reduce the boundary value problem to one in potential theory, which is then solved by classical means.

Let Ω be a bounded C2,α domain in R2. We prove that the boundary-value problem Δυ = 0 in Ω, ∂υ/∂n = λsinh(υ) on ∂Ω, has infinitely many (classical) solutions for any given λ > 0. These solutions are constructed by means of a variational principle. We also investigate the limiting behaviour as λ → 0+; indeed, we prove that each of our solutions, as λ → 0+, after passing to a subsequence, develops a finite number of singularities located on ∂Ω.
