Electromagnetic Wave Propagation in Turbulence: Evaluation and Application of Mellin Transforms (Springer Series on Wave Phenomena (18))

Electromagnetic Wave Propagation In Turbulence Is Devoted To A Method For Obtaining Analytical Solutions To Problems Of Electromagnetic Wave Propagation In Turbulence. In A Systematic Way The Monograph Presents The Mellin Transforms To Evaluate Analytically Integrals That Are Not In Integral Tables. Ample Examples Of Application Are Outlined And Solutions For Many Problems In Turbulence Theory Are Given. The Method Itself Relates To Asymptotic Results That Are Applicable To A Broad Class Of Problems For Which Many Asymptotic Methods Had To Be Employed Previously. By Richard J. Sasiela.
