Extract

Consider the diffraction problem for perturbed acoustic propagators with perturbations decreasing slowly at infinity. The propagation speed is discontinuous at the interface of two unbounded media, and the interface may be an arbitrary and smooth surface locally. A Sommerfeld radiation condition is introduced for the acoustic propagator, and is then used to establish the limiting absorption principle and the resolvent estimate at low frequencies for such an operator. Furthermore, we prove the existence of a unique solution to the diffraction problem and the validity of the limiting amplitude principles for the acoustic propagator.
