A priori bounds for elastic scattering by deterministic and random unbounded rough surfaces

This paper investigates the elastic scattering by unbounded deterministic and random rough surfaces, which both are assumed to be graphs of Lipschitz continuous functions. For the deterministic case, an a priori bound explicitly dependent on frequencies is derived by the variational approach. For the scattering by random rough surfaces with a random source, well-posedness of the corresponding variation problem is proved. Moreover, a similar bound with explicit dependence on frequencies for the random case is also established based upon the deterministic result, Pettis measurability theorem and Bochner's integrability Theorem.
