As is well known, eqs (1) admit one and only one solution that is compatible with Sommerfeld's radiation condition at infinity. This unique solution is conveniently expressed in terms of an auxiliary vector:

The variational boundary element method (VBEM) is widely used to compute the acoustic radiation of structures. The classical numerical implementation of the VBEM su ers from the computational cost associated with double surface integration. In a previous paper [1], the authors proposed a novel metho
In this paper, we compare two approaches to electromagnetic theory in flat space-time. Using the Newman-Penrose formalism. multipole moments of the electromagnetic field have been identified without determining their relation to the source of the field. Using the formalism developed by Goldberg and
Some features of the multipole expansion of the Coulomb potential V for a system of point charges are studied. It is shown that multipole expansion is convergent both locally in L,(R3) and weakly on some classes of functions. One-particle Hamiltonians H, = Ha + V,, where Ha is the kinetic energy ope
