Linear Waves
Chapter
Abstract
This chapter studies linear waves propagating in continuous media. For homogeneous media the method of solution is Fourier’s transformwhich is based entirely on the linear superposition principle. For weakly inhomogeneous media the variationalasymptotic method has to be used instead.
