β¦ Synopsis
The author, Professor Emeritus of Engineering at Cornell University, starts with a survey of probability distributions and densities and proceeds to examinations of moments, characteristic functions, and the Gaussian distribution; random functions; and random processes in more dimensions. Extensive appendixesβwhich include information on Fourier transforms, tensors, generalized functions, and invariant theoryβcontribute toward making this volume mathematically self-contained.

<p>Turbulence is a dangerous topic which is often at the origin of serious fights in the scientific meetings devoted to it since it represents extremely different points of view, all of which have in common their complexity, as well as an inability to solve the problem.

<p>This monograph considers stochastic models for laser propagation in atmospheric turbulence in a Hilbert space context. The laser beam intensity is formulated as the solution to a random Schroedinger equation. This model is considered as an abstract bilinear system with a multiplicative white nois
