In this paper, we extend to the time-harmonic Maxwell equations the p–version analysis technique developed in [R. Hiptmair, A. Moiola and I. Perugia, Plane wave discontinuous Galerkin methods for the 2D Helmholtz equation: analysis of the p-version, SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 49 (2011), 264-284] for Trefftz-discontinuous Galerkin approximations of the Helmholtz problem. While error estimates in a me...

Typically, many of the modern buildings have concrete walls constructed from cinder block walls, that have periodic nature in their relative dielectric constant. This periodic nature excites higher-order Floquet harmonic modes at microwave frequencies, which leads to the propagation of scattered waves along with non-specular directions. Periodic structures exhibit different behaviors when illum...

In this paper, we have done the simulation of ultrasonic field propagation in human tissue medium from a phased array transducer. The ultrasound plane wave propagation has been modeled using the B/A model and has been solved using the time domain based pseudospectral method. The generation of second harmonic field has been studied along the on-axis and off-axis as well and has been compared wit...

We recall the notion of cuspform for Γ = SL2(Z) acting on the upper half-plane, and prove that the orthogonal complement in L(Γ\H) to cuspforms is spanned by pseudo-Eisenstein series, which in turn are expressible as wave packets of Eisenstein series Es. Further we have a Plancherel theorem for this space. The non-trivial harmonic analysis resides in the application of the Fourier transform on ...

The photon-photon scattering in vacuum can give rise to the second-harmonic generation of intense laser radiation in a dc magnetic field in the ‘‘box’’ diagram approximation of quantum electrodynamics if the symmetry of interaction is broken by modulation or/and nonuniformity of optical wave 1dc field system in time or/and space. Specific examples considered here are: an optical pulse plane wav...

An experimental study is presented on the spatial structure of the internal wave field emitted by a horizontally oscillating sphere in a uniformly stratified fluid. The limits of linear theory and the nonlinear features of the waves are considered as functions of oscillation amplitude. Fourier decomposition is applied to separate first harmonic waves at the fundamental frequency and higher harm...

In the present work, treating the arteries as a thin-walled and prestressed elastic tube with a stenosis and the blood as a Newtonian fluid with negligible viscosity, we have studied the amplitude modulation of nonlinear waves in such a composite system by use of the reductive perturbation method. The governing evolution equation was obtained as the variable coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger (N...

We consider scattering of a time-harmonic acoustic incident plane wave by a sound soft convex curvilinear polygon with Lipschitz boundary. For standard boundary or finite element methods, with a piecewise polynomial approximation space, the number of degrees of freedom required to achieve a prescribed level of accuracy grows at least linearly with respect to the frequency of the incident wave. ...
