contents The present work describes some extensions of an approach, originally developed by V.V. Yatsyk and the author, for the theoretical and numerical analysis of scattering and radiation effects on infinite plates with cubically polarized layers. The new aspects lie on the transition to more generally shaped, two- or three-dimensional objects, which no longer necessarily have to be represented in terms a Cartesian product of real intervals, to more general nonlinearities (including saturation) and the possibility of an efficient numerical approximation of the electromagnetic fields and derived quantities (such as energy, transmission coefficient, etc.). The paper advocates an approach that consists in transforming the original full-space problem for a nonlinear Helmholtz equation (as the simplest model) into an equivalent boundary-value problem on a bounded domain by means of a nonlocal Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) operator. It is shown that the transformed problem is equivalent to the original one and can be solved uniquely under suitable conditions. Morever, the impact of the truncation of the DtN operator on the resulting solution is investigated, so that the way to the numerical solution by appropriate finite element methods is available.
