Modern Applications of the Bateman-Whittaker Theory
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research M, Vol. 102, 171-180, 2021
Abstract
The Bateman-Whittaker theory, which was developed a century ago, is shown to be a comprehensive basis for deriving a large class of null spatiotemporally localized electromagneticwaves characterized by intriguing vortical structures. In addition, it provides the modeling for studying topological structures dealing with linked and knotted electromagnetic waves.
