A CLASS OF DIRICHLET PROBLEMS FOR THE HELMHOLTZ EQUATION
( Department of Mathematical and Computing Sciences, University of Surrey Guildford, Surrey GU2 5XH )
A formal solution is obtained to a class of Dirichlet problems for Helmholtz's equation within a corner. It is shown that, for corner angles p
/q, where p and q are relatively prime integers, the expansions of the solutions in the neighbourhood of the corner include a term proportional to rq In (r), where r is the distance from the corner. A sufficient condition to ensure the absence of such terms is given.
