Abstract

Let D⊂ℝ^3^ be a bounded domain with connected boundary δD of class C^2^. It is shown that Herglotz wave functions are dense in the space of solutions to the Helmholtz equation with respect to the norm in H^1^(D) and that the electric fields of electromagnetic Herglotz pairs are dense in the space of solutions to curl curl E=k^2^E with respect to the norm in H~curl~(D). Two proofs are given in each case, one based on the denseness of the traces of Herglotz wave functions on δD and the other on variational methods. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
