| Abstract: | In this work the wave field arising over a concave-convex reflecting boundary is studied in the Kirchhoff approximation. The field arises as a result of the incidence of whispering gallery waves on an inflection point of the boundary from the concave side. The shortwave asymptotics of the Kirchhoff integral are obtained which is expressed in terms of special functions in a neighborhood of the inflection point of the boundary and in a neighborhood of the tangent to the boundary at the inflection point. Diagrams are constructed that illustrate the behavior of the scattered field.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.
