摘要:
It is shown that there exist an infinite number of eigenvalues of the far field operator corresponding to the scattering of a time-harmonic plane wave by either an imperfectly conducting obstacle or an absorbing inhomogeneous medium. Regions in the complex plane are found where these eigenvalues must lie and, in the case of obstacle scattering, numerical examples are given showing how precise these regions are.
