This article establishes the existence of trapped-mode solutions of a linearized water-wave problem. The fluid occupies a symmetric horizontal channel that is uniform everywhere apart from a confined region which either contains a thin vertical plate spanning the depth of the channel or has indentations in the channel walls. A trapped mode corresponds to an eigenvalue of a non-local Neumann-Dirichlet operator for an elliptic boundary-value problem in the fluid domain. The existence of such an eigenvalue is established by generalizing previous results concerning spectral theory for differential operators to this non-local operator.

The author is to be congratulated for his straightforward solution of this important technical problem [1]. It is also the prupose of this discussion to bring the attention of the interested reader to additional references regarding use of the point-matching method in vibrations and acoustics proble
## Abstract In this article, we consider the propagation problem inside a waveguide filled with a homogeneous biβisotropic material. The cross section of the waveguide is assumed arbitrary. By using the classical theory for the 2D Helmholtz equation in the cross section and the nullβfield approach,
