Hamilton–Jacobi equation — In physics, the Hamilton–Jacobi equation (HJE) is a reformulation of classical mechanics and, thus, equivalent to other formulations such as Newton s laws of motion, Lagrangian mechanics and Hamiltonian mechanics. The Hamilton–Jacobi equation is… … Wikipedia
Computation of radiowave attenuation in the atmosphere — One of the causes of attenuation of radio propagation is the absorption by the atmosphere. There are many well known facts on the phenomenon and qualitative treatments in textbooks.[1] A document published by the International Telecommunication… … Wikipedia
Mild-slope equation — Simulation of wave penetration involving diffraction and refraction into Tedious Creek, Maryland, using CGWAVE (which solves the mild slope equation). In fluid dynamics, the mild slope equation describes the combined effects of diffraction and… … Wikipedia

Fourier optics — is the study of classical optics using techniques involving Fourier transforms and can be seen as an extension of the Huygens Fresnel principle. The underlying theorem that light waves can be described as made up of sinusoidal waves, in a manner… … Wikipedia
Aproximación WKB — En Física, la aproximación WKB es el ejemplo más familiar de un cálculo semi clásico (ver antigua teoría cuántica) en el cual la función de onda es redactada como una función exponencial, semiclásicamente expandida, y entonces o la amplitud o la… … Wikipedia Español
List of nonlinear partial differential equations — In mathematics and physics, nonlinear partial differential equations are (as their name suggests) partial differential equations with nonlinear terms. They describe many different physical systems, ranging from gravitation to fluid dynamics, and… … Wikipedia
