REPORT ON APPLIED RESEARCH PROGRAM IN ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY RAY PATHS. PART III. MANUAL FOR HRT-1, A HAMILTONIAN RAY TRACKING PROGRAM FOR THE IBM-7094 COMPUTER.

Abstract

The report provides a complete description of the Hamiltonian Ray Tracing Program, HRT-1 developed for use on the IBM 7094 Computer. A description is presented on three levels. Section 1 offers a general account of the program's purpose and structure. This section is designed to acquaint the non-programmer with the general methods used by the program to simulate ray propagation. Section 2 discusses the steps involved in running the program. This section will enable either a programmer or a nonprogrammer to use the program, though he may be unfamiliar with its internal structure. Finally, Section 3 presents a detailed description of the mathematical techniques employed by the program. This section will provide a programmer with sufficient knowledge of the program so as to enable him to make modifications suitable for his particular study. (Author)
