Absence of critical points of solutions to the Helmholtz equation in 3D

Abstract: The focus of this paper is to show the absence of critical points for the solutions to the Helmholtz equation in a bounded domain

O m e g a s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{3}

, given by [ left{ �egin{array}{l} - m{div}(a, abla u_{omega}^{g})-omega qu_{omega}^{g}=0quad ext{in

O m e g a

,}\ u_{omega}^{g}=gquad ext{on

p a r t i a l O m e g a

.} end{array} ight. ] We prove that for an admissible

g

there exists a finite set of frequencies

K

in a given interval and an open cover

o v e r l i n e O m e g a = c u p_{o m e g a i n K} O m e g a_{o m e g a}

such that

| a b l a u_{o m e g a}^{g} (x) | > 0

for every

o m e g a i n K

and

x i n O m e g a_{o m e g a}

. The set

K

is explicitly constructed. If the spectrum of the above problem is simple, which is true for a generic domain

O m e g a

, the admissibility condition on

g

is a generic property.
