Spurious Resonances in Coupled Domain-Boundary Variational Formulations of Transmission Problems in Electromagnetism and Acoustics

by E. Schulz and R. Hiptmair

(Report number 2020-22)

Abstract
We develop a framework shedding light on common features of coupled variational formulations arising in electromagnetic scattering and acoustics. We show that spurious resonances haunting coupled domain-boundary formulations based on direct boundary integral equations of the first kind originate from the formal structure of their Calderon identities. Using this observation, the kernel of the coupled problem is characterized explicitly and we show that it completely vanishes under the exterior representation formula.

Keywords: electromagnetic scattering, acoustic scattering, resonant frequencies, coupling
