Abstract

In this paper, we consider transmission problems for wave propagation in two inhomogeneous half-spaces with a locally perturbed hyperplane interface. A radiation condition is obtained for the problem in the framework of the spaces B and B*. It is then used, together with the spaces B, B* and the limiting absorption method to prove the existence of the unique solution to the problem.
