Solution of the Helmholtz equation for spin-2 fields

چکیده

The Helmholtz equation for symmetric, traceless, second-rank tensor fields in three-dimensional flat space is solved in spherical and cylindrical coordinates by separation of variables making use of the corresponding spin-weighted harmonics. It is shown that any symmetric, traceless, divergenceless second-rank tensor field that satisfies the Helmholtz equation can be expressed in terms of two scalar potentials that satisfy the Helmholtz equation. Two such expressions are given, which are adapted to the spherical or cylindrical coordinates. The application to the linearized Einstein theory is discussed.

Semi-analytical Solutions of the 2-d Homo- Geneous Helmholtz Equation by the Method of Connected Local Fields

The frequency-domain finite-difference (FD-FD) methods have been successfully used to obtain numerical solutions of the twodimensional (2-D) Helmholtz equation. The standard second-order accurate FD-FD scheme is known to produce unwanted numerical spatial and temporal dispersions when the sampling is inadequate. Recently compact higher-order accurate FD-FD methods have been proposed to reduce t...
