- M. Zangari and D. Censor Synthese, An International Journal for Epistemology, Methodology and Philosophyof Science, Vol. 112, pp. 97-123, 1997.Is it possible to construct an alterna-tive framework fo the descriptionof physical reality that is not based onspace and time? Spectral representationsbased on the Fourier transform offer aself consistent alternative worldview. D. Censor JEMWA, Journal of Electromagnetic Wavesand Applications, 13,145-174, 1999.Moving sources and spatio-temporally dependent boundaries have been introduced in the past, in order to facilitate analyses of the so called `Doppler effect` phenomena. Here a model is introduced for generalized situations involving translatory and moving surfaces on which certain boundary or source conditions are prescribed. M. Sonnenschein and D. Censor JOSA, B, Vol. 15, pp. 1335-1345, 1998.This research attempts to modify the existing ray propagation formalism and apply the new algorithm to simple problems of nonlinear ray propagation.The results display self-focusing effects characteristic of nonlinear optics problems. The influence of weak losses is also discussed. Results agree-with experiments reported in the literature.
