Extract
Imagine a nearly horizontal, statistically uniform, random surface ζ(x, y), Gaussian in the sense that the second derivatives , , have a normal joint distribution. The problem considered is the statistical distribution of the quantity
where J and Ω denote the mean curvature and total curvature of the surface, respectively, and ν is a constant parameter.
