Stochastic Wave Propagation

Mathematical Preliminaries. Stochastic Media, Models and Analysis. Wave Propagation in Continuous Stochastic Media. Wave Propagation in Discrete Stochastic Media. Scattering of Waves at Stochastic Surfaces. Bibliography.

This is a concise, unified exposition of the existing methods of analysis of linear stochastic waves with particular reference to the most recent results. Both scalar and vector waves are considered. Principal attention is concentrated on wave propagation in stochastic media and wave scattering at stochastic surfaces. However, discussion extends also to various mathematical aspects of stochastic wave equations and problems of modelling stochastic media.
