Abstract
AbstractA generalized mode matching method that applies to a wide class of scattering problems is developed in the time harmonic two‐dimensional Helmholtz case. This method leads by variational means to an integro‐differential formulation whose unknown is the trace of the field on an unbounded one‐dimensional interface. The well‐posedness is proved after a careful study of the rather original functional framework. Owing to a fundamental density result—based upon some properties of a singular integral operator similar to the Hilbert transform—the limiting absorption principle related to this original formulation is established. Finally, two other situations are emphasized. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
