THE REFLECTION OF SOLUTIONS OF HELMHOLTZ EQUATION AND AN APPLICATION

It is the purpose of this paper to study the reflection of solutions of Helmholtz equation with Neumann boundary data. In detail let u be a solution of Helmholtz equation in the exterior of a ball in R$^3$ with exterior Neumann data ∂(sub)νu = 0 on the boundary of the ball. We prove that u can be extended to R$^3$ except the center of the ball. As a corollary, we prove that a sound hard ball can be identified by the scattering amplitude corresponding to a single incident direction and as single frequency.
