    Abstract. The functionals stationary on the eigen functions of homogeneous problems arising in the generalized eigen functions method are constructed. The main property of these problems is that the spectral parameter appears in their boundary conditions, or in equation satisfying only in a part of the domain. The boundary conditions containing the spectral parameter are natural for constructed functionals. Some examples of using the constructed functionals are presented.

    Abstract. A method for constructing quadratic (bilinear) functionals is presented, in which all the boundary conditions of the homogeneous boundary value problem are natural. Such property is especially important for problems containing the spectral parameter in boundary conditions. Two problems are considered as examples: the problem of normal modes calculation in dielectric waveguides with arbitrary cross section shape and the problem about eigen functions of one of the variants of generalized eigen oscillation method, in homogeneous problem of which the spectral parameter is contained in asymptotical conditions atinfinity.

    Abstract. Theoretical bases and calculating scheme of an algorithm for determining eigen functions and eigen values of the homogeneous problem with completely continuous operator are described. The method consists in iterating some initial function by the operator and next simultaneous processing all made iterations. The algorithm is based on a theorem establishing the connection between these iterations and coefficients of the characteristic series. It turn out that several eigen values and eigen functions may be calculated by a few iterations. The method is essentially effective if some lower eigen values have close moduli. As example, two homogeneous integral equations regarding the generalized eigen oscillations in open resonator with semitransparent surface and eigen modes in quasioptical line with piecewise-linear phase correctors are solved. In particular, 8 complex eigen values have been obtained after 15 iterations in the second problem, when Fresnel number was equal to 7-8.

    Abstract. A method of the rectangular antenna arrays synthesis according to prescribed amplitude pattern, based on generalized separation of variables, is proposed. In the method, a functional having the form of sum of the mean square difference between the given and obtained amplitude patterns, and the weighted current norm, is minimized. A matrix of the current distribution is expressed in the form of the limited sum, every term in which is a product of two one-dimensional vectors. The terms are calculated in successions, from the requirement of the functional minimum. In every step of the method a set of nonlinear algebraic equations should be solved. The set is effective solved by an iterative procedure.

    Abstract. The problem of solving a two-dimensional integral equation arisen in the diffraction theory is formulated as a variational one, e.g. as the problem of minimizing the RMS error of the equation residual. The problems of antenna synthesis according to prescribed complex (or amplitude only) directivity pattern are formulated in similar way. The solution of such problems is expressed as a sum of summands with separated variables. These summands are successively found by minimizing the initial functional. As a result, a set of two nonlinear one-dimensional equations is obtained for each summands, which can by solved by an iterative method. Numerical results presented in the paper show that it is sufficient to consider, as a rule, only 2-3 summands to obtain satisfactory accuracy.

    Abstract. The proposed before method of generalized separation of variables is applied with some modification to solving concrete synthesis problems according to prescribed amplitude pattern.

    Abstract. It is proved that finite sums of field development in the series of expanding waves may be used for approximately (in the L2 space) determing the directivity pattern of the scattered field of sources placed inside a smooth nonresonant surface with variable transparency if directivity pattern of these sources in the free space is given. The proof is based on using the generalized eigen oscillation method. The proved fact permits to apply above development to calculate the directivity pattern also in the case when Rayleigh hypothesis is inusable. The numerical results regarding concrete antennas are presented.

    Abstract.The generalized method of eigenoscillations generates the nonselfjoint homogeneous boundary value problems containing a spectral parameter in the boundary conditions. One of the ways for solving such problems is variational technique. For the body of revolution such a technique is developed in 4.14 and described in b.5. Here the finite element method is used with a stationary functional of the method, which is applied to investigation of resonators with impedance walls. The problem for the axially symmetrical harmonics of the closed resonator is considered and main features of the method are described. The method is illustrated on a test problem for the resonator of the form of finite circle cylinder with the impedance side surface and metallic border ones.
