The Helmholtz equation in a half-space with a mixed boundary condition


Abstract:

We consider a half space domain locally perturbed. We are interested in solving the Helmholtz equation in this domain with a mixed boundary condition. In this case surface waves are created. We express in that case the radiation condition and then prove the existence and uniqueness of a solution.
