关于Helmholtz外问题的边界积分方程解的唯一性问题

On the Uniqueness of Boundary Integral Equation for the Exterior Helmholtz Problem

本文用能量分析的观点探讨了用边界积分方程描述Helmholtz外问题时,解的唯一性不能保持的原因.文中证明了,当利用积分方程来描述问题时,实际上将无穷远处的Sommerfeld条件改成了既适合于外向波(辐射波),又适合于内向波(吸收波),即整个系统的能量保持守恒.并根据此观点解释了保持唯一性的算法.

From the point of view of energy analysis, the cause that the uniqueness of the boundary integral equation induced from the exterior Helmholtz problem does not hold is investigated in this paper. It is proved that the Sommerfeld's condition at the infinity is changed so that it is suitable not only for the radiative wave but also for the absorptive wave when we use the boundary integral equation to describe the exterior Helmholtz problem. Therefore, the total energy of the system is conservative. The mathematical dealings to guarantee the uniqueness are discussed based upon this explanation.
