An efficient solution of an integral equation applicable to simulation of propagation along irregular terrain

An efficient algorithm will be proposed as a substitute for the one origina lly used for the solution of an integral equation with applications to prop agation studies. The results from the original and the proposed algorithms will be compared by means of their application to the same terrain profile, A good overall agreement will be displayed between the corresponding resul ts from the two algorithms, Additionally, it will be shown that considerabl e savings in processing time can be obtained with the proposed algorithm.
