Edge Green's Functions On A Branched Surface. Statement Of The Problem Of Finding Unknown Constants

摘要

The paper is a continuation of the paper where the so-called coordinate and spectral equations were derived for finding the edge Green's functions on a branched surface having branch points of order two. The coefficients of those equations contain unknown constants. To find these constants, it is necessary to state restrictions for the solutions of the equations. After that, finding the unknown constants becomes possible, for example, by a numerical procedure of determining zeros of discrepancies. 'The paper is devoted to the statement of the problem of finding the unknown constants. As an example, the problem of scattering by two perpendicular half-lines is considered. As the result of using a rather subtle property of the spectral equation (symmetry associated with the reciprocity theorem), one can give a set of restrictions, in which the number of unknowns is equal to the number of restrictions.
