Scattering of plane waves

Analysis of PDEs 2025-09-25 v1

Abstract

We formulate a problem that can be viewed as a natural variation of the so-called Pompeiu or Schiffer problem in the context of scattering of plane waves for the Linear Helmholtz equation. For the two dimensional version of this variation, we establish conditions on the wave numbers and incident directions, that ensure a non-vanishing scattered field.
