On the Kraus-Levine Diffraction Model: A Mathematical Theory of Conic-Tip Diffraction.

摘要

In 1961, Kraus and Levine developed a mathematical model for diffraction by an elliptic cone,which included a plane angular sector as the degenerate case. Satterwhite and Kouyoumjian relied heavily upon this development as a basis for much of the work in their 1970report which deals with the degenerate case. The report is an outgrowth of the Kraus-Levine model in an effort to further clarify the analytical theory. In particular,special attention has been given to a class of integrals which arises in the development of the Green's functions. Also,several examples of Lame polynomials are exhibited. (Author)
