Abstract

In this paper, we consider the diffraction problem for wave propagation in inhomogeneous, penetrable media with an unbounded interface. The low frequency behaviour of the resolvent for the reduced wave operator is studied, and the validity of the limiting-amplitude principle for such an operator is proved.
