This is a continuation of the authors' previous work (A. Kirsch, Math. Meth. Appl. Sci., 45 (2022): 5737-5773.) on well-posedness of time-harmonic scattering by locally perturbed periodic curves of Dirichlet kind. The scattering interface…
We revisit the stability issue of determining the conductivity at the boundary from the corresponding Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. We discuss both the method based on singular solutions and the one built on the localized oscillating solutions.…

Oceanic internal tides and other inertia-gravity waves propagate in an energetic turbulent flow whose lengthscales are similar to the wavelengths. Advection and refraction by this flow cause the scattering of the waves, redistributing their…
