Wave and scattering methods for numerical simulation

• Presents a unified simulation method with potential applications in electromagnetics, acoustics, mechanics and digital signal processing.
• The first book to cover these important simulation techniques in the English language.
• Extends the application of traditional EE techniques to problems in civil and mechanical engineering bringing together four distinct research communities: wave digital filters, digital waveguide mesh, transmission line matrix, and general finite differences.

The author investigates the relationship between this method and other techniques such as wave digital filters, and develops a unified general numerical simulation method that can be applied to a range of distributed systems in electromagnetics, acoustics and mechanics.
