In physics, a wave is an oscillation that propagates through a medium (space-time, gas, fluid, or solid) — Click for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave

A force is required to change the momentum of an object. In the absence of external forces, momentum is conserved. For a mass m in flight, the momentum is m v, where v denotes the velocity of the mass. Newton's second law, F = m a, says that force equals mass times acceleration, i.e., force equals the time derivative of momentum. — Click for https://scienceworld.wolfram.com/physics/Force.html

A filter in the audio signal processing context is any operation that accepts a signal as an input and produces a signal as an output. Most practical audio filters are linear and time invariant, in which case they can be characterized by their impulse response or their frequency response. — Click for https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/filters/What_Filter.html

One-Multiply Form for the Mass-String Scattering Junction

The above form of the dynamic scattering junction is analogous to the Kelly-Lochbaum (KL) scattering junction (§C.8.4). The one-multiply form of the KL junction is well known (§C.8.5) [299]. The same basic derivation works for our problem as well to yield a one-filter form for the string-mass scattering junction.

We cannot simply substitute our reflectances and transmittances for the reflection and transmission coefficients in the KL result because our problem is a series connection of two identical string sections loaded by a junction mass, while the KL junction is derived for the parallel connection of two acoustic tube sections with no load at the junction; these differences lead to different signs as well as introducing the Laplace variable

$\begin{eqnarray*} F^{-}_1 &=& \hat{\rho}_f F^{+}_1 + (1-\hat{\rho}_f) F^{-}_2 \;=\; F^{-}_2 + \hat{\rho}_f\cdot(F^{+}_1-F^{-}_2)\\ [5pt] F^{+}_2 &=& (1-\hat{\rho}_f) F^{+}_1 + \hat{\rho}_f F^{-}_2 \;=\; F^{+}_1 - \hat{\rho}_f\cdot(F^{+}_1-F^{-}_2) \end{eqnarray*}$

The one-filter form follows from the observation that $\hat{\rho}_f\cdot(F^{+}_1-F^{-}_2)$ appears in both computations, and therefore need only be implemented once:

$\begin{eqnarray*} F^{+}&\isdef & \hat{\rho}_f\cdot(F^{+}_1-F^{-}_2)\\ [5pt] F^{-}_1 &=& F^{-}_2 + F^{+}\\ [5pt] F^{+}_2 &=& F^{+}_1 - F^{+} \end{eqnarray*}$

Again, the above results follow immediately from the more general formulation of §C.12.
