Abstract

Up until now, we have considered only the direct and inverse obstacle scattering problem for time-harmonic acoustic waves. In the following two chapters, we want to extend these results to obstacle scattering for time-harmonic electromagnetic waves. As in our analysis on acoustic scattering, we begin with an outline of the solution of the direct problem.
