A Representation of Acoustic Waves in Unbounded Domains

Published

Author(s)

Bradley K. Alpert, Yu-Hsuan Chen

Abstract

Compact, time-harmonic, acoustic sources produce waves that decay too slowly to be square-integrable on a line away from the sources. We introduce an inner product, arising directly from Green's second theorem, to form a Hilbert space of these waves, and present examples of its computation.
