Determining of Echoing Area Characteristics of Various Objects - Infinite Systems of Linear Equations in an Infinite Number of Unknowns
Abstract
The solution of a large class of physical problems, including diffraction of electromagnetic waves by periodic structures, or combinations of simple scatterers, and resonance phenomena in enclosed spaces, lead to infinite systems of linear equations in an infinite number of unknowns. Conventional methods of solving finite sets of linear equations must be extended with care to the infinite system. This report is a brief summary of available information on the solution of such infinite systems, with emphasis on the important distinctions between the finite and infinite cases.
