Popis: The problem of plane monochromatic TM waves propagating in a layer with an arbitrary nonlinearity is considered. The layer is placed between two semi-infinite media. Surface waves propagating along the material interface are sought. The physical problem is reduced to solving a nonlinear eigenvalue transmission problem for a system of two ordinary differential equations. A theorem on the existence and localization of at least one eigenvalue is proven. On the basis of this theorem, a method for finding approximate eigenvalues of the considered problem is proposed. Numerical results for Kerr and saturation nonlinearities are presented as examples.
