Abstract

Certain equivalence relationships between different problems occurring in diffraction theory are established. The method used is essentially Schwarz's principle of analytic continuation by reflexion across a straight boundary. An explicit solution is also obtained by this method for a plane wave normally incident on a T-shaped structure.
