Abstract:

It is established that a scalar quasi-monochromatic wave vanishes in the observation plane as a linear function of two variables, if the probability density of the logarithmic derivative of the wave amplitude decreases at infinity as x-3. The coefficient with the negative third index of the Laurent series for this probability density determines the number of real-plane zeros. The general results obtained can be reduced to well-known particular cases.
