On the Distribution of Random Waves and Cycles
Conference paper
Abstract
Many technically important problems involving random processes depend on the extremes of the studied functions, which can be regarded as a sequence of “waves” or “cycles”. This paper presents some recently proposed approximations for wavelength and amplitude distributions for three commonly used definitions of waves, when the studied function is a sample path of an ergodic, stationary, twice continuously differentiable process.
