Evaluation of some integrals relevant to multiple scattering by randomly distributed obstacles

• This paper analyzes and solves an integral and its indefinite Fourier transform of importance in multiple scattering problems of randomly distributed scatterers. The integrand contains a radiating spherical wave, and the two-dimensional domain of integration excludes a circular region of varying size. A solution of the integral in terms of radiating spherical waves is demonstrated. The method employs the Erdelyi operators, which leads to a recursion relation. This recursion relation is solved in terms of a finite sum of radiating spherical waves. The solution of the indefinite Fourier transform of the integral contains the indefinite Fourier transforms of the Legendre polynomials, which are solved by a closed formula.
