The Solution of the Raman-Nath Equations Ii DIFFRACTION OF LIGHT BY SUPERSONIC WAVES: THE SOLUTION OF THE RAMAN-NATH EQUATIONS II. The Exact Solution BY ROBERT MERTENS (Rijksuniversiteit Gent. Seminarie voor Analytische Mechanica, Gent, Beigium) AND FREDERIK KULIASKO (RijksuniverMteit Gent. Seminarie voor Wiskundige Natuurkunde, Gent, Belglum) Received January 1, 1968 (Communicated by Sir C. V. Raman, V.R.S., Nobel Laureate) A~STRACT The partial differential equation associated with the system of differ- ence-differential equations of Raman-Nath for the amplitudes of the diffracted light-waves is solved exactly by the method of the separation of the variables. The solution is presented asa double in¡ series con- taining the Fourier coefficients of the even periodir Mathieu functions with period zr and the corresponding eigenvalues. Considering this solu- tion asa Laurent series in one of the variables, the Laurent coetª immediately give the exact expressions for the amplitudes of the diffrac- red light-waves, from which the formulae for the intensities are caleu- late& The connection between the Raman-Nath method and Brillouin's Mathieu function method has thus been achieved. 1. II'~TRODUCTION ThE problem of the diffra•tion of light by a supersonie wave has given ¡ to two important methods of solution: (1)the method of Brillouin1 based on the expansion of the solution of the wave equation into a series of Mathieu functions; (2) the method of Raman-Nath 2 starting from a Fourier expan- sion of the solution of the wave equation and leading to a system of diffcrence-differential cquations for the amplitudes of the diffracted light- waves. B¡ exposed his method in the case of a standing ultrasonic wave. It was extended by Mertens 3 to the case of a progressive sound wave from which the problem of a standing supersonic wave r be treated in 303 304 ROBERT MERTENS AND FREDERIK KULIASKO a more detailed way,4 leading to the spectral character of each diffracted light beato. Recently Berry~ establishzd a theory in the sense of BriUouin taldng into account th, effect of the reflected diffracted waves. At the first sight the theories of Brillouin and Raman-Nath are eom- pletely different. A eonnection between both theo¡ was established by Berry6 using a rather involved solution of the truncated Raman-Nath system in terms of a continued fraction and its relationship with the Mathieu furtcfion solution. In the present study we derive the conneetion between both theo¡ in another way, employing the method that was described in Part I of this paper. 6 There it was shown that the amplitudes of the diffraeted light- waves eould be obtained as the Laurent expansion eoetticients of a generat- ing function whieh satisfies a partial differential equation. It was seen that the approximate solutions of the latter equation lead rather quickly to known approximate expressions for the amplitudes of the diffracted light beatos. In w we derive an exact solution of the paxtial differential equation by the method of the separation of the variables. By a ehange of one of the inde- pendent variables one of the obtained ordinary differential equations is transformed into a Mathieu equation, the solutions of whieh are shown to be even and periodic with period ~r. The solution of the partial differential equation is presented as an infinite series eontaining the eonsidered Mathieu funetions. The Fourier expansion of those Mathieu funetions leads to a solution having the forro of a double series from whieh, in w exaet ex- pressions for the amplitudes and the intensities of the diffraeted light-waves are obtained in terms of the Fou¡ eoetfieients of the Mathieu funetions and the eorresponding eharaetefistie numbers. The intensities of zero and first order are also derived from the general formulae when p >~ 1. 2. EXACT SOLUTION OF THE PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION* It has been shown by Kuliasko, Mertens and Leroy e that the amplitudes Sn (0 of the diffraoted light beams, whieh ate solutions of the system of Raman and Nath," 2 d_~~_ _ (4~-x -- 4n+x) in~lM?n (n .... , --2, --1, 0, 1, 2, .-.), (1) with the boundary eonditions 4~ (0) = ~.0, (2) * Tho notations arc the sarao as in Part L Diffraction of Light by Supersonic Waves--H 305 may be obtained as the Laurent expansion coefficients of a generating function G (~, 7) = S ~.

(5) We shaU now try to find a solution of the partial differential equation (4) satisfying the condition (5) by the method of separation of the variables. Putting G ( r/) = Z( H (r/), (6) Z (O being a function of ~ only and H 01) representing a funetion of 7/only, into the Eq. (4), we obtain the following differential equations for Z and H: dZ~~= 1 iaZ, (7) ~3 d~H[l_~-z q_ ~ ~ dH.d~l.-- ~ (~2 _ iay -- 1) H ---~0, (8) ia being the separation eonstant. The general solution of Eq. (7) is easily obtaincd as Z ( = Ce t i'r (9) whereby C is an arbitrary constant. We shall further transform the Eq. (8) by changing the independent variable 7. In order to do this, we remark that ~ is a complex variable, 6 whose image point in the complex w-plane must lie on a elosed contottr encircling the o¡ once in a countercloekwise sense. The elosed path itself is situated within ala annular region with centre 0 in the complex ~-plane, 306 ROBERT MERTENS AND FREDERIK KULIASKO where the generating function G (~, r/), considered as a function of the eom- plex variable ~7 alone, is holomorphic. Taking for the closed path a circle with radius unity we may write ~1 -~- ieniX, (10) where x is the new independent rem variable. Putting y (x) -----H (,/), Eq. (8) be,comes ate+~d~y (4~ ,o8e~ 2x)y =0, (11) whieh is nothing else than the weU-known Mathieu equation. If we set 4a a = - , (12a) P 4 q = ~, (12 b) we obtain the canonical forro ~, s daY + (a -- 2q cos 2x) y = 0. dx 2 (13) The function G (~, ~7), being holomorphic within the annular region of the eomplex rrplane , has to be one-valued in each point of the circle with radius unity. Hence, H(~I) must also be a one-valued function in each point of this circle, so that, with respect to (10), this stipulation yields y (x + ,0 = y (x). (14) This condition signifies that the allowed solutions of Eq. (13) ate the even Mathieu functions ce~ (x, q) or the odd Mathieu functions ~e~ (x, q) periodic in x with period ,r. 7, s A general solution of Eq.

(13) reducing to sin 2nx when q = 0 [ce2n (x, q) reduces to cos 2nx for q : 0]. According to the periodicity condition (14), we must put B = 0. In respect of Eq. (12 a) we see that the value of the separation constant a eorresponding with the charaeteristic number azn is given by a~ = (16) Diffraction of Light by Supersonic Waves--H 307 A solution of Eq.

  • Combinatorial Approach to Mathieu and Lam\'E Equations
    Combinatorial approach to Mathieu and Lam´eequations Wei He1, a) 1Center of Mathematical Sciences, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China 2Instituto de F´ısica Te´orica, Universidade Estadual Paulista, Barra Funda, 01140-070, S˜ao Paulo, SP, Brazil Based on some recent progress on a relation between four dimensional super Yang- Mills gauge theory and quantum integrable system, we study the asymptotic spec- trum of the quantum mechanical problems described by the Mathieu equation and the Lam´eequation. The large momentum asymptotic expansion of the eigenvalue is related to the instanton partition function of supersymmetric gauge theories which can be evaluated by a combinatorial method. The electro-magnetic duality of gauge theory indicates that in the parameter space there are three asymptotic expansions for the eigenvalue, we confirm this fact by performing the WKB analysis in each asymptotic expansion region. The results presented here give some new perspective on the Floquet theory about periodic differential equation.

Dunneb aMaryland Center for Fundamental Physics, University of Maryland, College Park, MD, 20742, U.S.A. bDepartment of Physics, University of Connecticut, Storrs CT 06269, U.S.A. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: The Nekrasov-Shatashvili limit for the low-energy behavior of N = 2 and N = 2∗ supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theories is encoded in the spectrum of the Mathieu and Lam´eequations, respectively. This correspondence is usually expressed via an all- orders Bohr-Sommerfeld relation, but this neglects non-perturbative effects, the nature of which is very different in the electric, magnetic and dyonic regions. In the gauge theory dyonic region the spectral expansions are divergent, and indeed are not Borel-summable, so they are more properly described by resurgent trans-series in which perturbative and non- perturbative effects are deeply entwined. In the gauge theory electric region the spectral expansions are convergent, but nevertheless there are non-perturbative effects due to poles in the expansion coefficients, and which we associate with worldline instantons. This provides a concrete analog of a phenomenon found recently by Drukker, Mari˜noand Putrov in the large N expansion of the ABJM matrix model, in which non-perturbative effects are related to complex space-time instantons. In this paper we study how these very different regimes arise from an exact WKB analysis, and join smoothly through the magnetic region.

Received: 21 September 2020; Accepted: 23 October 2020; Published: 30 October 2020 Abstract: The existence of local terrain has a great influence on the scattering and diffraction of seismic waves. The wave function expansion method is a commonly used method for studying terrain effects, because it can reveal the physical process of wave scattering and verify the accuracy of numerical methods. An exact, analytical solution of two-dimensional scattering of plane SH (shear-horizontal) waves by an elliptical-arc canyon on the surface of the elastic half-space is proposed by using the wave function expansion method. The problem of transforming wave functions in multi-ellipse coordinate systems was solved by using the extra-domain Mathieu function addition theorem, and the steady-state solution of the SH wave scattering problem of elliptical-arc depression terrain was reduced to the solution of simple infinite algebra equations. The numerical results of the solution are obtained by truncating the infinite equation. The accuracy of the proposed solution is verified by comparing the results obtained when the elliptical arc-shaped depression is degraded into a semi-ellipsoidal depression or even a semi-circular depression with previous results.

  • On Spectral Approximations in Elliptical Geometries Using Mathieu Functions
    MATHEMATICS OF COMPUTATION Volume 78, Number 266, April 2009, Pages 815–844 S 0025-5718(08)02197-2 Article electronically published on November 20, 2008 ON SPECTRAL APPROXIMATIONS IN ELLIPTICAL GEOMETRIES USING MATHIEU FUNCTIONS JIE SHEN AND LI-LIAN WANG Abstract. We consider in this paper approximation properties and applica- tions of Mathieu functions. A first set of optimal error estimates are derived for the approximation of periodic functions by using angular Mathieu func- tions. These approximation results are applied to study the Mathieu-Legendre approximation to the modified Helmholtz equation and Helmholtz equation. Illustrative numerical results consistent with the theoretical analysis are also presented. 1. Introduction The Mathieu functions were first introduced by Mathieu in the nineteenth cen- tury, when he determined the vibrational modes of a stretched membrane with an el- liptic boundary [27]. Since then, these functions have been extensively used in many areas of physics and engineering (cf., for instance, [25, 23, 19, 4, 21, 5, 32, 8, 17]), and many efforts have also been devoted to analytic, numerical and various other aspects of Mathieu functions (cf., for instance, [26, 6, 3, 36]). A considerable amount of mathematical results of Mathieu functions are contained in the books [28, 29, 1]. However, most of these results are concerned with classical properties such as identi- ties, recursions and asymptotics. To the best of our knowledge, there are essentially no results on their approximation properties (in Sobolev spaces) which are neces- sary for the analysis of spectral methods using Mathieu functions. A main objective of this paper is to derive a first set of optimal approximation results for the Math- ieu functions.

  • Examples of Heun and Mathieu Functions As Solutions of Wave
    Examples of Heun and Mathieu Functions as Solutions of Wave Equations in Curved Spaces 1 T.Birkandan∗ and M. Horta¸csu∗† ∗Department of Physics, Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey. †Feza G¨ursey Institute, Istanbul, Turkey. February 4, 2008 Abstract We give examples where the Heun function exists as solutions of wave equations encountered in general relativity. As a new example we find that while the Dirac equation written in the background of Nutku helicoid metric yields Mathieu functions as its solutions in four space- time dimensions, the trivial generalization to five dimensions results in the double confluent Heun function. We reduce this solution to the Mathieu function with some transformations. PACS number: 04.62.+v arXiv:gr-qc/0607108v3 23 Jan 2007 1E-mail addresses: [email protected], [email protected] 1 1 Introduction Most of the theoretical physics known today is described by a rather few num- ber of differential equations. If we study only linear problems, the different special cases of the hypergeometric or the confluent hypergeometric equa- tion often suffice to analyze scores of different phenomena. These are two equations of the Fuchsian type with three regular singular points and one regular, one irregular singular point respectively. Both of these equations have simple recursion relations between two consecutive coefficients when a power expansion solution is attempted. This fact gives in many instances sufficient information on the general behavior of the solution. If the problem is nonlinear, one can usually fit the equation describing the process to one of the different forms of the Painlev´eequations [1].

  • Analytical Approach for Description of Ion Motion in Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer
    Analytical Approach for Description of Ion Motion in Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer Vladimir I. Baranov MDS SCIEX, Concord, Ontario, Canada Implementation of the analytical method of the solution of the Mathieu equation in conjunc- tion with the algebraic presentation of Mathieu functions is discussed in this work. This approach is used for the analytical expression of fundamental properties of the quadrupole field such as ion trajectory stability and transmission. Extensive comparison with the matrix method is presented with demonstration of the fundamental advantages of the analytical method. However, contrary to the matrix method, the analytical method is limited to the cos trapping waveforms.

The matrix tems such as Mathematica [4] covering a broad range of method is used in the present work for direct compar- a and q parameters. In addition to the obvious conve- ison. The analytical method allows the analytical for- nience of the analytical method of solution of the mulation of an ion trajectory over an unlimited number Mathieu equation in conjunction with the algebraic of cycles and does not need the matrix method.
