High-frequency uniform asymptotics for the Helmholtz equation in a quarter-plane (Q2856520)

In complex notation, the 2-dimensional, homogeneous Helmholtz equation \(\frac{\partial}{\partial z}\frac{\partial}{\partial\overline{z}}q+\beta q=0\) is considered in the first quadrant \(]0,\infty[\,+\mathrm{i}\,]0,\infty[\,\subseteq\mathbb{C}\). For a solution \(q\) the specific Neumann boundary condition \(\frac{\partial}{\partial n}q=h\), where \(h\) is only non-zero (indeed \(h=1\), on an interval \(]a,b[ \,\) with \(a,b\in\,]0,\infty[\, , a<b\)), and the Sommerfeld radiation condition are imposed. The analysis is based on an integral equation method. The limit \(\beta\to\infty\) is studied in detail, and uniform asymptotic expansions are derived.
