Zu Dionys, dem Tyrannen, schlich Damon, den Dolch im Gewande … Wir wissen, was Damon mit dem Dolch wollte – aber diese Zeilen bieten auch das Potential für ganz andere Geschichten. Ist der Dolch modisches Accessoire oder heilige Reliquie? Oder gar ein Wesen mit eigenem Willen, das sein eigenes Schicksal mitgestaltet? Weshalb trägt jemand ihn verdeckt bei sich? Ist ein Attentat im Gange, ein Feind das Ziel? Dient die Waffe zum Selbstschutz, zur Abwehr von Gefahr? Ist der Dolch eine Rückvers...

The monograph addresses a canonical problem in linear water wave theory, through the development-detailed, asymptotic analysis of contour integrals in the complex plane. It is anticipated that the methodology developed in the monograph will have applications to many associated linear wave evolution problems, to which the reader may adapt the approach developed in the monograph. The approach adopted in the monograph is novel, and there are no existing publications for comparison.
