Pertubations To Helmholtz Equation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding resources for solving the Helmholtz equations with a perturbation term p(r), specifically in the context of wave equations. Participants express difficulty locating information that addresses p(r) as a non-zero term, as most resources only cover the case where p(r) equals zero. Additionally, there is a request for information on wave equations with perturbations, which are relevant in applications like waveguide optics. A reference to "Kumar's method (perturbation method)" is suggested as a potential resource. The conversation highlights a need for more comprehensive materials on these specific mathematical topics.

Consider the Helmholtz Equations with a perturbation p(r)

[gradient^2 + p(r) + omega^2/c(r)^2 ]u(r,w) = 0

Does anyone know where I can find resources to the solutions/discussion of this equation? I can find many things such that p(r) = 0 , but the RHS = forcing function, but that is not what I want.

Likewise, any resources pertaining to the wave equation with a perturbation would also be nice

[gradient^2 + p(r) - 1/c(r)^2 * del^2/delT^2]u(r,t) = 0

Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field'

Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...

Thread 'Do electron density waves accompany EM waves in coaxial cables?'

Maxwell’s equations imply the following wave equation for the electric field $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}}{\partial t^2} = \frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}\nabla\rho+\mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf J}{\partial t}.\tag{1}$$ I wonder if eqn.##(1)## can be split into the following transverse part $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}_T-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}_T}{\partial t^2} = \mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf{J}_T}{\partial t}\tag{2}$$ and longitudinal part...
