On an integral equation in the problem of diffraction of a plane wave on a transparent circular cone

The problem of diffraction on a transparent convex cone is studied. A uniqueness theorem is proved for the case where the cone is illuminated by a compact source. For a circular cone, the solution is obtained in the form of Kontorovich-Lebedev integrals and Fourier series expansions. A singular integral equation is deduced for the Fourier coefficients, and its regularization is carried out. Bibliography: 13 titles. ©2006 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc.
