Synopsis

A scattering theory is developed for transmission problems associated with the plate equation. Asymptotic methods of solution for large time are examined as are questions concerning regularity of solution, nature of the associated spectrum and existence of appropriate wave operators. It is shown that in contrast to solutions of the wave equation, signals can propagate with an infinite dispersion velocity.
