Investigates integral representation of scalar waves in relation to incoming and outgoing fields, suggesting limitations in general cases.
The problem of the integral representation over a bounded surface of a regular field satisfying the Helmholtz equation in all space is investigated. This problem is equivalent to the local splitting into an incoming field and an outgoing field. This splitting is not possible in general.
