Analysis of the interior transmission problem in an unbounded locally perturbed periodic strip

Abstract

International audienceWe analyze the interior transmission problem in a locally perturbed infinite periodic domain, considering the case where the perturbation intersects the periodic background. An equivalent formulation as coupled quasiperiodic problems is obtained by applying the Floquet-Bloch transform. We perform a discretization with respect to the Floquet-Bloch variable and prove the well-posedness of the semi-discretized problem. We then establish some a priori estimates under regularity assumptions that allow us to prove the convergence of the discrete sequence to the solution of the problem.</div
