On Green's function for the Helmholtz equation in a wedge

It is found that, in the spherical coordinate system, the fundamental solution of the Helmholtz equation in a wedge satisfies the Sommerfeld radiation conditions at infinity uniformly in angle coordinates.Deceased.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 45, No. 9, pp. 1312–1314, September, 1993.     

Boundary-value problems for an elliptic equation with complex coefficients and a certain moment problem

Elliptic systems of two second-order equations, which can be written as a single equation with complex coefficients and a homogeneous operator, are studied. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the connection of traces of a solution are obtained for an arbitrary bounded domain with a smooth boundary. These conditions are formulated in the form of a certain moment problem on the boundary of a domain; they are applied to the study of boundary-value problems. In particular, it is shown that the Dirichlet problem and the Neumann problem are solvable only together. In the case where the domain is a disk, the indicated moment problem is solved together with the Dirichlet problem and the Neumann problem. The third boundary-value problem in a disk is also investigated.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 45, No. 11, pp. 1476–1483, November, 1993.     

Two Coulomb waves theory for direct excitation

A theoretical model of Dewangan, in which the total scattering wave function is approximated by a distorted wave containing two Coulomb wave functions, is discussed and its relation with the Brauner-Briggs-Klar model for ionization is examined. An important feature of the theory is that it includes a second Born amplitude naturally and in addition, contains, albeit approximately, both real and imaginary parts of all higher order Born terms. The theory is applied to study the 1s→2s excitation of hydrogen by electrons in the energy range 54.4 to 400eV. The differential and integral cross sections predicted by the theory are compared with the results of other theories and experimental data at 54.4eV and a good agreement is found.     

Strain of an anisotropic monolith during the excavation of minerals

We solve the problem of the normal and transverse shear in an anisotropic monolith during the excavation of a stratum of solid mineral. It is shown that the stress perturbation field in the rock is due to the whole extent of the excavated portion of the stratum. We study way in which the friction that arises between the interacting rock of the roof and the floor influences the strain and stress fields as the front of the excavation evolves, and also the influence of the extent of the excavated portion of the rock stratum on the magnitude of the accumulated tangential displacements.
