Acoustic scattering from corners, edges and circular cones (Q1745406)

The aim of this paper is to study acoustic scattering from corners, edges and circular cones by using the Laplace and Helmholtz equations. Assume formula 2.4. The main theorems state that a penetrable obstacle somehow scatters every incident wave and the far-field patterns corresponding to two different penetrable obstacles in \(\mathbb{R}^n,\;n=2,3\) cannot coincide. The proofs use Carleman estimates, Rellich's lemma, Fourier transform, homogeneous Taylor expansion, Sobolev imbedding and spherical harmonics.
