Hybrid Formulation of Wave Propagation and Scattering edited by L.B. Felsen.

The Workshop on Hybrid Formulations of Wave Propagat̃on and Scattering underwent a sequence of iterations before emerging in the format recorded here. These iterations were caused by various administrative and logistical problems which need not be detailed. However, its direction being set initially...
