Synopsis

A radiation condition is obtained, and is then used together with weighted Sobolev spaces and the limiting absorption method to establish the unique existence of solutions to the diffraction problem for the wave propagation in the case where the propagation speed is piecewise constant, and the surface separating two media is unbounded.
