We consider a kind of scattering problem by a crack F that is buried in a bounded domain D, and we put a point source inside the domain D. This leads to a mixed boundary value problem to the Helmholtz equation in the domain D with a crack Г. Both sides of the crack F are given Dirichlet-impedance boundary conditions, and different boundary condition （Dirichlet, Neumann or Impedance boundary condition） is set on the boundary of D. Applying potential theory, the problem can be reformulated as a system of boundary integral equations. We establish the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the system by using the Fredholm theory.
In this paper, a bridge between near-homogeneous and homogeneous vector fields in R 3 is found. By the relationship between homogeneous vector fields and the induced tangent vector fields of two-dimensional manifold S 2 , we prove the existence of at least 5 isolated closed orbits for a class of n + 1 (n ≥ 2) systems in R 3 , which are located on the five invariant closed cones of the system.
