In our previous work (Assier & Shanin, QJMAM, 2019), we gave a new spectral formulation in two complex variables associated with the problem of diffraction by a quarter-plane. In particular, we showed that the unknown spectral function satisfies a condition of additive crossing about its branch set. In this paper, we study a very similar class of spectral problem, and show how the additive crossing can be exploited in order to express its solution in terms of Lame functions. The solution…

Analytical continuation of two-dimensional wave fields

Wave fields obeying the two-dimensional Helmholtz equation on branched surfaces (Sommerfeld surfaces) are studied and it is shown that such wave fields admit an analytical continuation into the domain of two complex coordinates.
