From the text: We consider two resonators, one imbedded in the other. The given system is the “interior” resonator, surrounded by an “exterior” resonator of the type of a spherical layer. Suppose \(k^ 2_ 0\neq 0\) (\(k\) is the wave number) is a simple eigenvalue of the closed interior resonator but is not an eigenvalue of the closed resonator of the type of a spherical layer. It would seem that in this situation the types of singularities of the scattered field corresponding to a single resonator should be preserved. Actually, in the exterior of the system in a peak regime the difference of the scattered fields is of order \(O(1)\), but in the interior resonator the growth is already of order \(O(\varepsilon^{- 2})\) \((0< \varepsilon\ll 1\) is the linear dimension of the aperture). Thus, there is a certain type of roll-up by the nonresonance spherical layer (in the spherical layer of order \(O(\varepsilon^{-1})\)). This effect is connected with the fact that in the present case \(\text{Im }\tau_ \varepsilon\) (\(\tau_ \varepsilon\) is a pole of the Green function of the resonator) has order \(O(\varepsilon^ 4)\) and not \(O(\varepsilon^ 2)\) as in the case of a single resonator. We remark that for a chain of successively connected resonators this phenomenon may occur.
Reviewer’s remark: This is an abstract paper in the general area of acoustic scattering, and “only time will tell whether it will prove useful”.
