Random Media and Boundaries Unified Theory, Two-Scale Method, and Applications / by Koichi Furutsu.

For a system consisting of a random medium with rough boundaries, the governing (Bethe-Salpeter) equation for boundary-value transport problems can be written in a form such that the medium and the boundaries are treatedon an equal footing. This enables several expressions for the solution to be obt...
