## Asymptotic behaviour of the phase in non-smooth obstacle scattering.(English)Zbl 0880.35089

Summary: We study the asymptotic behaviour of the scattering phase $$s(\lambda)$$ of the Dirichlet-Laplacian associated with obstacle $$\overline\Omega$$, where $$\Omega$$ is a bounded open subset of $$\mathbb{R}^n$$ $$(n\geq 2)$$ with non-smooth boundary $$\partial\Omega$$ and connected complement $$\Omega_\varepsilon= \mathbb{R}^n\backslash\overline \Omega$$. We prove that if $$\Omega$$ satisfies a certain geometrical condition, then $|s(\lambda)- \phi(\lambda)|\leq d_n|\partial\Omega|_{n- 1}\lambda^{{n-1\over 2}}\log\lambda,\quad\text{as }\lambda\to+\infty,$ where $$\phi(\lambda)= \left[(4\pi)^{n/2}\Gamma\left(1+ {n\over 2}\right)\right]^{-1}|\Omega|_n\lambda^{n/2}$$, $$d_n>0$$ depending only on $$n$$, and $$|\cdot|_j$$ $$(j=n- 1,n)$$ is a $$j$$-dimensional Lebesgue measure.
