Let D ⊂ℝ 3 be a bounded domain with connected boundary δD of class C 2 . It is shown that Herglotz wave functions are dense in the space of solutions to the Helmholtz equation with respect to the norm in H 1 ( D ) and that the electric fields of electromagnetic Herglotz pairs are dense in the space of solutions to curl curl E = k 2 E with respect to the norm in H curl ( D ). Two proofs are given in each case, one based on the denseness of the traces of Herglotz wave functions on δD and the other on variational methods. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
