 Incoming-pole cancellation at a pinned membrane edge

Reconstructing the left scattered displacement in fluid-loaded membrane edge scattering divides by $m{\omega }^2-T{k}^2$. The pole at the lower bare-membrane wavenumber $b=\omega \sqrt{m/T}$ must cancel to preserve outgoing half-plane analyticity. This gives a linear condition determining the otherwise unknown endpoint slope $A$. The prescribed incident pole in the total field is a different singularity.
