Description and Table of Contents

Description

This monograph analyzes caustics and their fields on the basis of modern catastrophe theory. It covers both local and uniform caustic asymptotic expansions: the Lewis-Kravtsov method of standard functions; Maslov's method of canonical operators; and Orlov's method of interference integrals, as well as their modifications for penumbra, space-time, random and other types of caustics. All methods are illustrated by worked problems concerning relevant wave-field applications.
