| Abstract | "Caustics, Catastrophes & Wave Fields" in a sense continues the treatment of the earlier volume 6 "Geometrical Optics of Inhomogeneous Media" in the present book series, by analyzing caustics & their ...ields on the basis of modern catastrophe theory. This volume covers the key generalizations of geometrical optics related to caustic asymptotic expansions: The Lewis-Kravtsov method of standard functions, Maslov's method of caonical operators, Orlov's method of interference integrals, as well as their modifications for penumbra, space-time, random & other types of caustics. All the methods are amply illustrated by worked problems concerning relevant wave-field applications. show more |
