Applying an iterative method numerically to solve n × n matrix Wiener-Hopf equations with exponential factors.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a generalization of a recent iterative approach to solving a class of 2 × 2 matrix Wiener-Hopf equations involving exponential factors. We extend the method to square matrices of arbitrary dimension n, as arise in mixed boundary value problems with n junctions. To demonstrate the method, we consider the classical problem of scattering a plane wave by a set of collinear plates. The results are compared to other known methods. We describe an effective implementation using a spectral method to compute the required Cauchy transforms. The approach is ideally suited to obtaining far-field directivity patterns of utility to applications. Convergence in iteration is fastest for large wavenumbers, but remains practical at modest wavenumbers to achieve a high degree
