Description for Wave Propagation and Time Reversal in Randomly Layered Media
hardcover. Presents a systematic and self-contained presentation of wave propagation in randomly layered media using the asymptotic theory of ordinary differential equations with random coefficients. This title covers theory and several applications, primarily involving time reversal. Series: Stochastic Modelling and Applied Probability. Num Pages: 632 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 240 x 162 x 34. Weight in Grams: 990.
Our motivation for writing this book is twofold: First, the theory of waves propagating in randomly layered media has been studied extensively during the last thirty years but the results are scattered in many di?erent papers. This theory is now in a mature state, especially in the very interesting regime of separation of scales as introduced by G. Papanicolaou and his coauthors and described in [8], which is a building block for this book. Second, we were motivatedbythe time-reversalexperimentsofM. Finkandhis groupinParis. They were done with ultrasonic waves and have attracted considerable att- tion because of the surprising e?ects of enhanced ... Read more

Reviews for Wave Propagation and Time Reversal in Randomly Layered Media
From the reviews: "An up-to-date monograph written by highly regarded experts that presents in a modern way the generalities of the physics of randomly layered media and covers a broad range of applications has long been eagerly anticipated by mathematicians, physicists, and engineers. … I strongly recommend the book to graduate students and advanced researchers ...
