This introductory chapter presents some of the methods that are useful for solving the problems of wave diffraction theory: method of separation of variables, method of power series, method of spline functions, and method of an auxiliary boundary. We also consider some algorithms for the numerical inversion of the Laplace transform, which is often used to solve the wave diffraction problems. Finally, we give a brief account of the method of multiple scales that is often used to study the propagation of transient waves. |
