Yayın On a class of functional equations of the Wiener-Hopf type and their applications in n-part scattering problems(Oxford Univ Press, 2003-12) İdemen, Mehmet Mithat; Alkumru, AliAn asymptotic theory for the functional equation K-phi=f, where K : X-->Y stands for a matrix-valued linear operator of the form K=K1P1+K2P2+...+KnPn, is developed. Here X and Y refer to certain Hilbert spaces, {P-alpha} denotes a partition of the unit operator in X while K-alpha are certain operators from X to Y. One assumes that the partition {P-alpha} as well as the operators K-alpha depend on a complex parameter nu such that all K-alpha are multi-valued around certain branch points at nu=k(+) and nu=k(-) while the inverse operators K-alpha(-1) exist and are bounded in the appropriately cut nu-plane except for certain poles. Then, for a class of {P-alpha} having certain analytical properties, an asymptotic solution valid for \k(+/-)\-->infinity is given. The basic idea is the decomposition of phi into a sum of projections on n mutually orthogonal subspaces of X. The results can be extended in a straightforward manner to the cases of no or more branch points. If there is no branch point or n=2, then the results are all exact. The theory may have effective applications in solving some direct and inverse multi-part boundary-value problems connected with high-frequency waves. An illustrative example shows the applicability as well as the effectiveness of the method.Yayın Diffraction of two-dimensional high-frequency electromagnetic waves by a locally perturbed two-part impedance plane(Elsevier Science BV, 2005-06) İdemen, Mehmet Mithat; Alkumru, AliDuring the second half of the last century mixed boundary-value problems had been an appealing research subject for both mathematicians and engineers. Among this kind of problems those connected with wave propagation in half-spaces or slabs bounded by sectionally homogeneous boundaries took an important place because they were motivated by microwave applications. The simplest problem of this kind is the classical two-part problem which can be reduced to a functional equation involving two unknown functions, say psi(+)(v) and psi(-)(v), which are regular in the upper and lower halves of the complex v-plane, respectively. This functional equation can be rigorously treated by the Wiener-Hopf technique. When the boundary consists of three (or more) parts, the resulting functional equation involves also an entire function, say P(v), in addition to psi(+)(v) and psi(-)(v), which makes the problem not solvable exactly. A local (non-homogeneous) perturbation on a two-part boundary, which is of extreme importance from engineering point of view, gives also rise to a problem of this type. The known methods established to overcome the difficulties inherent to the three-part problems are based on the elimination of the entire function P(v) first to obtain a linear system of two singular integral equations for psi(+) and psi(-). After having determined the functions psi(+)(v) and psi(-)(v) by solving this system of integral equations numerically, the function P(v) is found from the functional equation in question. Numerical solutions to the aforementioned system, which need rather hard computations, cannot provide results which are suitable to physical interpretations. The aim of the present paper is to establish a new method which is based, conversely, on the elimination of the unknown functions psi(+)(v) and psi(-)(v) first to obtain a linear integral equation of the first kind for the entire function P(v), which can be solved rather easily by regularized numerical methods. Then the functions psi(+)(v) and psi(-)(v) are determined through the classical Wiener-Hopf technique. The result to be obtained by this approach seems to be more suitable to physical interpretations and permits one to reveal the effect of the perturbation on the scattered wave. Some illustrative examples show the applicability and effectiveness of the method.Yayın Derivation of the Lorentz transformation from the Maxwell equations(VSP BV, Brill Academic Publishers, 2005) İdemen, Mehmet MithatThe Special Theory of Relativity had been established nearly one century ago to conciliate some seemingly contradictory concepts and experimental results such as the Ether, universal time, contraction of dimensions of moving bodies, absolute motion of the Earth, speed of the light, etc. Hence the fundamental revolutionary formulas of the Theory, i.e., the Lorentz Formulas, had been derived first by Einstein by dwelling on a postulate which stipulated the constancy of the speed of the light. To this end he had first postulated that every reference system has a time proper to itself and then redefined the notions of simultaneity, synchronous clocks, time interval, the length of a rod in a system at rest, the length in a moving system, etc. A second postulate of Einstein, which stated that every physical theory is invariant under the Lorentz transformation, enabled him to claim that the Theory of Electromagnetism is correct but the Newtonian Mechanics has to be re-established. Since then the Theory was almost always presented in this way by both Einstein and others except only a few. The aim of this paper is to show that the Lorentz formulas can be derived from the Maxwell equations if one pstulates that the total electric charge of an isolated body does not change if it is in motion. To this end one dwells only on the permanence principle of functional equations, which is not a physical but purely mathematical concept. Thus, from one side the Special Relativity becomes a natural issue (or a part) of the Maxwell Theory and, from the other side, the derivation of the transformation rules pertinent to the electromagnetic field becomes straightforward and easy.Yayın Diffraction of two-dimensional high-frequency electromagnetic waves by a locally perturbed two-part impedance plane(2004) İdemen, Mehmet Mithat; Alkumru, AliAmong the wave propagation problems, those connected with half-spaces bounded by sectionally homogeneous boundaries take important place because they are motivated by microwave applications. If the boundary are of three or more parts, then the problem results, very frequently, in functional equations involving unknown functions, say Ψ+ (v), Ψ- (v) and P(v), which are regular in the upper half, lower half and whole of the complex v-plane, respectively, except at the point of infinity. A local (non-homogeneous) perturbation on a two-part boundary, which is of extreme importance from engineering point of view, gives also rise to a problem of this type. The aim of the present paper is to establish a method which is based on the elimination of the unknown functions Ψ+ (v) and Ψ- (v) to obtain an integral equation of the Fredholm type for the entire function P(v), which can be solved rather easily by numerical methods. The functions Ψ+ (v) and Ψ- (v) are then determined by the classical Wiener-Hopf technique.
