Integral Equation Methods in Scattering Theory

Presenting a mathematical treatment of acoustic and electromagnetic waves, this text covers basic properties of solutions to the Helmholtz and Maxwell equations. It provides a broad survey of integral equation methods in scattering theory, including both the direct and inverse problems. Also included are discussions on the Riesz-Fredholm theory of compact operations, entire functions of a complex variable, univalent function theory, improperly posed problems, and weak compactness.
