Abstract

The induced dipole-dipole interaction can be understood in terms of recurrent elastic scattering of waves. We implement this notion into transport theory of scalar waves in inhomogeneous dielectric media and calculate rigorously the pivotal cooperative effect of pairs of polarizable dipoles.
