Abstract
This paper investigates acoustic wave scattering from materials with periodic time-modulated material parameters. We consider the basic case of a single connected domain where absorbing or Neumann boundary conditions are enforced. Energy estimates limit the exponential growth of solutions to the initial value problem, thereby confining Floquet exponents to a complex half-space under absorbing boundary conditions and to a strip near the real axis for Neumann conditions. We introduce a system of coupled harmonics and establish a Fredholm alternative result using Riesz–Schauder theory. For a finite set of harmonics, we show that the spectrum remains discrete. Different eigenvalue formulations for the Floquet exponents are formulated and connected to these results. Employing a space discretization to the system of coupled harmonics filters spatially oscillating modes, which is shown to imply a localization result for the temporal spectrum of the fully discrete coupled harmonics. Such a localization result is the key to further analysis, since the truncation of the coupled harmonics is critically affected for non-localized modes. We use the localization result to show that, when enough harmonics are included, the approximated Floquet exponents exhibit the same limitations as their continuous counterparts. Moreover, the approximated modes are shown to satisfy the defining properties of Bloch modes, with a defect that vanishes as the number of harmonics approaches infinity. Numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach and illustrate the theoretical findings.
