Comments on methods applied to the evaluation of lateral waves
Abstract
To apply the method of steepest descent to the evaluation of lateral waves when the observing point and the source are located in different media with respect to each other, it is recommended that one first change the variable of integration according to Snell's law and then apply the method of operators. The merits and limitations of this method, compared with the usual direct one, are discussed.
