This is the third in a series of problems in the study of surface waves which have been disturbed by the presence of a plane barrier and to which a solution may be provided. We assume as in part I, that the fluid is incompressible and non-viscous, and that motion is irrotational.

3 In order to formulate the integral equation, this asymptotic form need not be specified so definitely. Indeed from the Green's function which we employ, we shall find that ϕ(x,y) need only grow less rapidly than exp . With the solution of the integral equation we shall find that ϕ(x,y) has the prescribed asymptotic form for .
