Near peak scattering and the corrected Kirchhoff approximation for a convex obstacle (Q1074936): Difference between revisions

The uniform asymptotic behavior of the scattering amplitude near the forward peak, in the case of classical scattering of waves by a convex obstacle, is derived. The microlocal model is obtained for the scattering operator. This is achieved by a new study of a class of Fourier integral operators.
