Competence Certificate
The module will be completed with an oral exam of about 30 minutes.
Competence Goal
The students can prove and apply basic properties of solutions of the wave equation in interior or exterior domains. They know about representation theorems for such solutions and can apply the Fourier-Laplace-transform to analyze causal solutions. Students master the existence and uniqueness theory of associated boundary value problems using integral equations and retarded single and double layer potentials including proofs. Furthermore, the students can apply these results to scattering problems and explain the depence of scattered waves on the scattering object as well as the relationship with its far field pattern.
