Abstract

The uniqueness theorem of Simon & Ursell (1984), concerning the linearized two-dimensional water-wave problem in a fluid of infinite depth, is extended in two directions. First, we consider a two-dimensional geometry involving two submerged symmetric bodies placed sufficiently far apart that they are not confined in the vertical right angle having its vertex on the free surface as the theorem of Simon & Ursell requires. A condition is obtained guaranteeing the uniqueness outside a finite number of bounded frequency intervals. Secondly, the method of Simon & Ursell is generalized to prove uniqueness in the axisymmetric problem for bodies violating John's condition provided the free surface is a connected plane region.
