Retarded Potentials and Time Domain Boundary Integral Equations

This book offers a thoroughand self-contained exposition of the mathematics of time-domain boundaryintegral equations associated to the wave equation, including applications toscattering of acoustic and elastic waves. The book offers two differentapproaches for the analysis of these integral equations, including asystematic treatment of their numerical discretization using Galerkin(Boundary Element) methods in the space variables and ConvolutionQuadrature in the time variable
