Abstract

We are concerned with a two-dimensional problem which models the scattering of a time-harmonic acoustic wave by an arbitrary number of sound-soft circular obstacles. Assuming that their radii are small compared to the wavelength, we propose a mathematical justification of different levels of asymptotic models available in the physical literature, including the so-called Foldy-Lax model.
