摘要: 在本文中,我们建立麦克斯韦系统在顶点角处的一类新的唯一延拓性质.当电场或磁场在形成顶点角的平面上满足某种齐次边界条件时,它们在顶点角处一定具有某个消失阶.我们将求得消失阶并建立消失阶和顶点角的多面体角之间的关系.这些结果拓展了[21]中关于边角处的新近结果.这种类型的唯一延拓性质的研究来源于长期存在的电磁波反散射问题.

Abstract: In this paper, we establish a novel unique continuation property (UCP) for the Maxwell system locally around a vertex corner. It is shown that if certain homogeneous conditions are imposed on the planes forming the vertex corner, the electric/magnetic field must vanish to a certain order. We derive the vanishing order and relate it to the polyhedral angles of the vertex corner. This extends the recent results in [21] where the UCP was considered associated with an edge corner. This type of UCP study originated from the study of a longstanding problem in inverse scattering theory.
