Essential spectrum of local multi-trace boundary integral operators

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Considering pure transmission scattering problems in piecewise constant media, we derive an exact analytic formula for the spectrum of the corresponding local multi-trace boundary integral operators in the case where the geometrical configuration does not involve any junction point and all wave numbers are equal. We deduce from this the essential spectrum in the case where wave numbers vary. Numerical evidences of these theoretical results are also presented.
