Abstract:The uniform asymptotic theory of diffraction is reintroduced in terms of the Fresnel cylinder function for the diffraction problems of cylindrical waves. The transition function of the above theory, which compensates the discontinuities of the diffracted wave, is constructed according to the new function. The scattering problem of waves by a resistive half‐plane is studied by the aid of the improved method. The uniform wave expressions are compared with the ones, obtained by the Fresnel integral at the near an… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
