Abstract
In this chapter we present the derivations of some mathematical tools used in this book. No proofs of validity are given. We have used the method of stationary phase and the method of characteristics singular integral equations, for instance. Here we give a short introduction to these methods. We also give the derivation of a two-dimensional Green’s function and a simplification of a set of algebraic equations used in Chap. 6.
