This book, comprising two volumes, has a dual purpose. The first is to introduce a general methodology for solving diffraction problems in geometries constituted of angular regions – The Wiener-Hopf Solution – Theory (Volume 1). The second is to offer the solutions of some canonical problems in modern electromagnetic engineering and other physics – The Wiener-Hopf Solution – Advanced Applications (Volume 2). The general mathematical methodology, based on the Wiener-Hopf technique, is particularly ingenious and original. The method focuses on sophisticated procedures, exploiting properties of analytic functions. With the acquired knowledge of the methodology, the reader can easily obtain solutions to the problems presented in the book. Furthermore, the technique can be applied to novel, challenging wedge problems.
The two volumes have wide appeal, with the methodology extending beyond electromagnetics to acoustics and elasticity problems. The proposed practical problems, along with their solutions, constitute a reference list applicable to engineering production within the fields of propagation, EMC, radar technologies and elasticity.
