Abstract: | We develop the shape derivative analysis of solutions to the problem of scattering of time-harmonic electromagnetic waves
by a penetrable bounded obstacle. Since boundary integral equations are a classical tool to solve electromagnetic scattering
problems, we study the shape differentiability properties of the standard electromagnetic boundary integral operators. The
latter are typically bounded on the space of tangential vector fields of mixed regularity
T H-\frac12(divG,G){\mathsf T \mathsf H^{-\frac{1}{2}}({\rm div}_{\Gamma},\Gamma)}. Using Helmholtz decomposition, we can base their analysis on the study of pseudo-differential integral operators in standard
Sobolev spaces, but we then have to study the Gateaux differentiability of surface differential operators. We prove that the
electromagnetic boundary integral operators are infinitely differentiable without loss of regularity. We also give a characterization
of the first shape derivative of the solution of the dielectric scattering problem as a solution of a new electromagnetic
scattering problem. |
