Abstract
In this chapter we consider finite element method applications to scattering (and radiation) problems. A key ingredient for this extension is the mathematical truncation of the finite element mesh. More specifically, the boundary integral which appears in the weak wave equation can no longer be eliminated by enforcing Neumann or Dirichlet boundary conditions at the boundaries of the domain.
