Scalar Klein--Gordon equation and its analytically continued dispersion diagram


الملخص بالإنكليزية

The scalar Klein-Gordon equation describes wave motion in a waveguide with a cut-off. For example, the displacement of an elastic cord anchored to a solid base by elastic elements can be described by the scalar Klein-Gordon equation. We analyse this equation using the concept of analytical continuation of dispersion diagram. Particularly, it is shown that the dispersion diagram is topologically equivalent to a tube analytically embedded in two-dimensional complex space. The corresponding Fourier integral is studied on this tube using the Cauchys theorem. The basic properties of the scalar Klein-Gordon equation are established.
