In this paper, we derive a new integral equation method for direct electromagnetic scattering in homogeneous media and present a numerical confirmation of the new method via a computer simulation. The new integral equation method is based on a paper written by DeSanto [1], originally for scattering from an infinite rough surface separating homogeneous dielectric half-spaces. Here, it is applied...

‎In this paper‎, ‎we formulate the sixth-order boundary value problem as Fredholm integral equation by finding Green's function and obtain the sufficient conditions for existence and multiplicity of positive solution for this problem‎. ‎Also nonexistence results are obtained‎. ‎An example is given to illustrate the results of paper‎.

The boundary element method (BEM) for linear elasticity in its curent usage is based on the boundary integral equation for displacements. The stress field in the interior of the body is computed by differentiating the displacement field at the source point in the BEM formulation, via the strain field. However, at the boundary, this method gives rise to a hypersingular integral relation which be...

The weak Neumann problem for the Poisson eqution is studied on Lipschitz domain with compact boundary using the direct integral equation method. The domain is bounded or unbounded, the boundary might be disconnected. The problem leads to a uniquely solvable integral equation in H(∂Ω). It is proved that we can get the solution of this equation using the successive approximation method. AMS class...

The paper provides boundary integral equations for solving the problem of viscous scattering of a pressure wave by a rigid body. By using this mathematical tool uniqueness and existence theorems are proved. Since the boundary conditions are written in terms of velocities, vector boundary integral equations are obtained for solving the problem. The paper introduces single-layer viscous potential...

For analyzing diffraction gratings, a new method is developed based on dividing one period of the grating into homogeneous subdomains and computing the Neumann-to-Dirichlet (NtD) maps for these subdomains by boundary integral equations. For a subdomain, the NtD operator maps the normal derivative of the wave field to the wave field on its boundary. The integral operators used in this method are...

This paper presents the solution to the following optimization problem: What is the shape of the region that minimizes the average Lp distance between all pairs of points if the area of this region is held fixed? (The Lp-distance between two points x = (x1, x2) and y = (y1, y2) in < 2 is (|x1 − y1| p + |x2 − y2| p).) We use variational methods to determine the shape of the region that minimizes...

This paper presents an extension of McKean’s (1965) incomplete Fourier transform method to solve the two-factor partial differential equation for the price and early exercise surface of an American call option, in the case where the volatility of the underlying evolves randomly. The Heston (1993) square-root process is used for the volatility dynamics. The price is given by an integral equation...
