Abstract

We consider a kind of scattering problem by a crack Γ that is buried in a bounded domain D, and we put a point source inside the domain D. This leads to a mixed boundary value problem to the Helmholtz equation in the domain D with a crack Γ. Both sides of the crack Γ are given Dirichlet-impedance boundary conditions, and different boundary condition (Dirichlet, Neumann or Impedance boundary condition) is set on the boundary of D. Applying potential theory, the problem can be reformulated as a system of boundary integral equations. We establish the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the system by using the Fredholm theory.
