The analysis demonstrates issues in splitting incoming and outgoing fields in wave equations, indicating limits of integral representations.
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 local splitting into an incoming field and an outgoing field. This splitting is not possible in general.
