In this Letter we develop analytical formulations to describe sound scattering in lossless medium due to 2D circular wave incident on an acoustic cloak. A perfect acoustic cloak is reflectionless and can completely hide the cloaked object…

Using a sum rule, we derive new bounds on Herglotz functions that generalize those given in (Gustafson and Sj\"oberg 2010) and (Bernland, Luger and Gustafson 2011). These bounds apply to a wide class of linear passive systems such as…
