    Abstract

    In this chapter, we rigorously examine the differences in the far-field patterns (9.1) for an E-polarised scatterer with a single corner. The scattering of a plane wave by such a scatterer is formulated in Section 9.1, and an appropriate integral equation for the surface distribution on the obstacle is given. As a motivation for the analysis to follow, a brief discussion of numerical results is given in Section 9.2. In Section 9.3, the lemniscate (having a right-angled corner) and its rounded counter-part is used as a test case to establish analytic bounds for the maximum difference in the far field. An integral equation is obtained for the difference in the surface distributions on each obstacle; its approximate solution is shown to be O((kp) 2/3), as kp -> 0 (Theorem 9.1). It then follows that the non-dimensionalised far-field difference √κ∥μορ∞ is O((kp) 4/3), as kp -> 0 (Theorem 9.2).
