in a Problem of Electromagnetic Wave Scattering on a Slab Covered
with Graphene
摘要
The paper focuses on a boundary value problem for a system of two homogeneousHelmholtz equations with mixed boundary conditions arising in the theory of electromagneticwave scattering on structures covered with two-dimensional materials. The problem is reduced toa boundary integral equation on the entire real line involving a hypersingular integral operator.Introducing new variables and unknown function, one passes to an integral equation onan interval. To find an approximate solution of the resulting equation, a collocation method usingFourier–Chebyshev series to represent the solution is suggested; hypersingular integrals arecalculated analytically. In the main part of the paper, we prove the Fredholm property of thehypersingular operator involved in the integral equation under consideration.
