Given a smooth, convex conducting body of revolution with a plane electromagnetic wave propagating in the direction of the axis of revolution, the problem considered is that of finding an expression, valid for small values of wavelength, which describes the currents in the vicinity of the caustic in the shaded region of the surface. The problem is formulated in terms of an integral equation obtainable from a three-dimensional Green's function. The integration with respect to the azimuthal variable is carried out by two different schemes and the results discussed in relation to one another. The remaining integration, which is over a geodesic path, defines an integral equation which possesses a singular kernel. This singular equation is then studied in conjunction with a bounded kernel. The body of revolution under consideration to this point is then specialized to the case of the sphere in order to compare the theory with known results, and some of the physical implications of the theory are discussed.

In the study of short-wave diffraction problems, asymptotic methods - the ray method, the parabolic equation method, and its further development as the "etalon" (model) problem method - play an important role. These are the meth ods to be treated in this book. The applications of asymptotic methods in the theory of wave phenomena are still far from being exhausted, and we hope that the techniques set forth here will help in solving a number of problems of interest in acoustics, geophysics, the physics of electromagnetic waves, and perhaps in quantum mechanics. In addition, the book may be of use to the mathematician interested in contemporary problems of mathematical physics. Each chapter has been annotated. These notes give a brief history of the problem and cite references dealing with the content of that particular chapter. The main text mentions only those pUblications that explain a given argument or a specific calculation. In an effort to save work for the reader who is interested in only some of the problems considered in this book, we have included a flow chart indicating the interdependence of chapters and sections.
Dedicated to modern approaches of a high-frequency technique in diffraction theory, Asymptotic Methods in Short-Wavelength Diffraction Theory outlines a variety of crucial topics. The book considers a multitude of matters, ranging from the ray method to the theory of high-frequency whispering-gallery waves alongside the reviewing and reflecting on recent results from the literature dealing with localized asymptotic solutions and uniform representation of a high-frequency wave-field. The book serves as an exclusive address to experts on electromagnetics, seismology and acoustics as well as to mathematicians interested in modern approaches of mathematical physics.
The purpose of the book, apart from expounding the Geometrical Theory of Diffraction (GTD) method, is to present useful formulations that can be readily applied to solve practical engineering problems.
This book details the ideas underlying geometrical theory of diffraction (GTD) along with its relationships with other EM theories.
