Abstract
In this paper we show that existing small perturbation-based methods for computation of scattering from a layered structure with a single rough interface are substantially equivalent. In addition, a further reformulation of the scattered field expression allows us to express the final solution in series form: we then show that each term of the series has a direct physical interpretation.
