Mild-slope (MS) type equations are depth-integrated models, which predict under appropriate conditions refraction and diffraction of linear time-harmonic water waves. Among these equations, the complementary mild-slope equation (CMSE) was shown to give better agreement with exact two-dimensional linear theory compared to other MS-type equations. Nevertheless, it has a disadvantage of being a vector equation, i.e. it requires solving a system of two coupled partial differential equations. In addition, for three-dimensional problems, there is a difficulty in constructing the additional boundary condition needed for the solution. In the present work, it is shown how the vector CMSE can be transformed into an equivalent scalar equation using a pseudo-potential formulation. The pseudo-potential mild-slope equation (PMSE) preserves the accuracy of the CMSE while avoiding the need of an additional boundary condition. Furthermore, the PMSE significantly reduces the computational effort relative to the CMSE, since it is a scalar equation. The accuracy of the new model was tested numerically by comparing it to laboratory data and analytical solutions.

The eigenvalues of a second order self-adjoint elliptic differential operator on Riemannian n-space R will be considered. Our purpose is to obtain asymptotic variational formulae for the eigenvalues under the topological deformations of (i) removing an ɛ -cell (and adjoining an additional boundary condition on the boundary component thereby introduced); and (ii) attaching an ɛ -handle, valid on a half-open interval 0 < ɛ ≤ ɛo. In particular the formulae will exhibit the non-analytic nature of the variation. Similar variational problems for singular ordinary differential operators have been considered by the writer in [3] and [4].

In considering the problem of waves on a sloping beach, little regard seems to have been given to the effect of surface tension. Wehausen and Laitone (7) tend to attribute this to the fact that the additional force is small. This does not, of course, preclude the possibility that the effect may be appreciable in certain regions, and Longuet-Higgins (3), for example, has shown this to be the case near the crests for waves on the point of breaking. They also add, which is probably rather more pertinent, that difficulties arise when a solid boundary pierces the surface, since an additional boundary condition is required at the intersection, but give no indication as to what the boundary condition should be.
