Notation

We introduce in this section the notation used in the sequel of the paper. The angle of the wedge is ~, and we suppose 0 < ~ < 7r. We call ~2s (resp. f2/) the angular section filled by the elastic medium (resp. the fluid)

The sets Z 1, Z 2 are finite.

Proof. It is sufficient to prove t h a t an infinite sequence z~ of the form z0 C C, ze+l = T ~ ( z e ) , ze E ~2~, u~ E {UL, UT, u0} does not exist. If z = u c o s 0 = u(cos01 cosh02 - i sin01 sinh02), 0 C 7), 0 _< R e 0 < 7r - ~ then R e ( T , ( z ) ) = ucos(01 + p ) c o s h 0 2 _< u(cos0x - e0)cosh02 _< R e z - e0u, where e0 > 0 depends only of ~. Thus, if the n u m b e r of points z~ is infinite, then Re z~ -+ - o o and Izel --+ +oo. This insures t h a t [0~el ~ + o c and cosh0e2 .~ [ sinh02~] --. 89 ~ Consequently, I Arg zt I ~ 0~ E]0, 7r - ~[ and [ Arg ze+l I "~ O~ + ~ ~ 0~+ 1. This gives a contradiction since it implies 0~ --+ +oc. .. We refer to Sect.2.2.2. for the physical interpretation of the sets Z 1, Z 2.

T h e first result concerns the existence and unicity of outgoing solutions of the problem, as settled in Definition 2.3. We need to suppose t h a t the incidence angle Oi~ is such t h a t {UL,ur, u o } n Z J ( u o c o s O i ~ , u o C o s ( O i ~ + ~ ) )

(H)

T h e hypothesis (H) means t h a t the incident wave 9 is not an incomming grazing wave along one of the two faces. 9 does not generate t h r o u g h the recurrence formula (2.35) an incomming grazing wave of the fluid-solid coupling by a plane interface. Because of L e m m a 2.4, the hypothesis (H) is satisfied except for a finite set of incidence angles 0i~.

Under the hypothesis (H), the system (2.12)-(2.15) does have an unique outgoing solution (v, h). If aj,/3j, 7j E .4 are the single layer potentials linked to the outgoing solution (v, h) by (2.28), we define the spectral function of the system (5) by
