A scalar Fourier modal method for the numerical analysis of the scalar wave equation in inhomogeneous space with an arbitrary permittivity profile, is proposed as a novel theoretical embodiment of Fourier optics. The modeling of devices and systems using conventional Fourier optics is based on the thin-element approximation, but this approach becomes less accurate with high numerical aperture or thick optical elements. The proposed scalar Fourier modal method describes the wave optical characteristics of optical structures in terms of the generalized transmittance function, which can readily overcome a current limitation of Fourier optics.

This paper is mainly concerned with the formation of delta standing wave for the scalar conservation law with a linear flux function involving discontinuous coefficients by using the self-similar viscosity vanishing method. More precisely, we use the self-similar viscosity to smooth out the discontinuous coefficient such that the existence of approximate viscous solutions to the delta standing wave for the Riemann problem is established and then the convergence to the delta standing wave solution is also obtained when the viscosity parameter tends to zero. In addition, the Riemann problem is also solved with the standard method and the instability of Riemann solutions with respect to the specific small perturbation of initial data is pointed out in some particular situations.

This paper presents a new formulation for forward scalar wave simulations in semi-infinite media. Perfectly-Matched-Layers (PMLs) are used as a wave absorbing boundary layer to surround a finite computational domain truncated from the semi-infinite domain. In this work, a hybrid formulation was developed for the simulation of scalar wave motion in two-dimensional PML-truncated domains. In this formulation, displacements and stresses are considered as unknowns in the PML domain, while only displacements are considered to be unknowns in the interior domain. This formulation reduces computational cost compared to fully-mixed formulations. To obtain governing wave equations in the PML region, complex coordinate stretching transformation was introduced to equilibrium, constitutive, and compatibility equations in the frequency domain. Then, equations were converted back to the time-domain using the inverse Fourier transform. The resulting equations are mixed (contain both displacements and stresses), and are coupled with the displacement-only equation in the regular domain. The Newmark method was used for the time integration of the semi-discrete equations.

This work presents a time-truncation scheme, based on the Lagrange interpolation polynomial, for the solution of the two-dimensional scalar wave problem by the time-domain boundary element method. The aim is to reduce the number of stored matrices, due to the convolution integral performed from the initial time to the current time, and to keep a compromise between computational economy and efficiency and the numerical accuracy. In order to verify the accuracy of the proposed formulation, three examples are presented and discussed at the end of the article.

This article is concerned with the presentation of a time-domain BEM approach applied to the solution of the scalar wave equation for 2D problems. The basic idea is quite simple: the basic variables of the problem at time $t_n$ (potential and flux) are computed with the results related to the potential and to its time derivative at time $t_{n-1}$ playing the role of "initial conditions". This time-marching scheme needs the computation of the potential and its time derivative at all boundary nodes and internal points, as well as the entire discretization of the domain. The convolution integrals of the standard time-domain BEM formulation, however, are not computed; the matrices assembled, only at the initial time interval, are those related to the potential, flux and to the potential time derivative. Two examples are presented and discussed at the end of the article, in order to verify the accuracy and potentialities of the proposed formulation.

A general theory of scalar wave scattering by two separated particles is developed to give the coefficients of scattering and transmission in the form of recurrence formulae. Iterative applications of the formulae yield the coefficients in the form of power series of the coefficients obtained from single-particle scattering theories, and each term of the of power series can be interpreted as multiple scattering of the wave between the two particles in increasingly higher order.

The problem of scalar wave scattering by a sphere on or near a planar substrate is analytically solved. The solution is a set of wave functions coming in the form of infinite series of spherical and plane waves. In air, the incident plane wave is either scattered by the sphere or reflected from the substrate. A part of these scattered or reflected waves propagate to the other object where it is reflected and scattered again. Such processes of scattering and reflection repeat in turn indefinitely to generate multiply scattered waves, which are represented in the corresponding terms in the infinite series. The term in the series can be arranged in a recognizable manner to explicitly reveal the involved process and the multiplicity of scattering.

무한 매질에서의 파전파 현상은 공학과 자연과학의 여러 분야에서 다양한 물리적 현상을 서술하는데 활용되고 있고, 이 문제에 대한 해를 얻기 위하여 해석적 방법 또는 수치적 방법이 개발되어 사용되고 있다. 이 문제에 대한 정확한 해를 얻기 위해서는 무한 영역으로의 에너지 방사를 정확히 고려해야 하고, 이를 위해 다양한 수치적 또는 역학적 모형 또는 경계조건이 개발되었다. 이 연구에서는 층상 waveguide에서의 scalar wave 또는 SH파 전파 문제에 적용할 수 있는 새로운 경계조건을 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위해 waveguide의 수직방향으로 유한요소 이산화를 적용하여 얻은 SH파의 지배방정식을 변형하여 waveguide의 무한 영역의 영향을 나타내는 경계조건을 유도한다. 층상 waveguide에서의 SH파에 대한 고유모드의 직교성을 이용하여, 새로운 경계조건은 기존의 root-finding absorbing boundary condition와 동등함을 보이고, 이로부터 새로운 경계조건의 차수가 증가할수록 정확성이 증가하고, 또한 이산화된 수준에서도 안정함을 유도할 수 있다. 제안된 경계조건을 층상 waveguide에서의 파전파 문제에 적용하여 그 정확성과 안정성을 검증한다.

In this article, we study the Klein-Gordon-Maxwell equations arising from a semilocal gauge field model. This model describes the interaction of two complex scalar fields and one gauge field, and generalizes the classical Klein-Gordon equation coupled with the Maxwell electrodynamics. We prove that there exist infinitely many standing wave solutions for p ∈ (2, 6) which are radially symmetric. Here, p comes from the exponent of the potential of scalar fields. We also prove the nonexistence of nontrivial solutions for the critical case p = 6.

Derived was the scalar wave equation of optical fibers. Based on the derived equation, the dispersion characteristics of arbitrarily profiled fibers were analyzed. We applied the 1-D FEM employing quadratic interpolation fucntions to solve the scalar wave equation. To find the optimum index distribution of a fiber that has the ultra-low total dispersion, we analyzed QC fibers as objects. Adding 2$_{nd}$ and 3$_{rd}$ clads to DC fiber, we investigated the change of dispersion characteristics. We found the QC fiber parameters for which the dispersion was ultra-low flattened, less than 0.5 ps/km.nm for ${\lambda}=1.4~1.6{\mu}m$, and the dispersion value was as low as 0.20 ps/km.nm at ${\lambda}=1.55{\mu}m$.
