This is a survey of the inverse spectral problem on (mainly compact) Riemannian manifolds, with or without boundary. The emphasis is on wave invariants: on how wave invariants have been calculated and how they have been applied to concrete…
It has long been known how to construct radiation boundary conditions for the time dependent wave equation. Although arguments suggesting that they are accurate have been given, it is only recently that rigorous error bounds have been…

Time-reversal (TR) refocusing of waves is one of fundamental principles in wave physics. Using the TR approach, "Time-reversal mirrors" can physically create a time-reversed wave that exactly refocus back, in space and time, to its original…
