Rayleigh-Bloch waves are guided acoustic waves propagating along a periodic line of inclusions placed inside an open, infinite medium. Below the sound cone, they are transversely evanescent on both sides of the line of inclusions. Guidance…

Layered media have been studied extensively both for their importance in imaging technologies and as an example of a hyperbolic PDE with discontinuous coefficients. From the perspective of acoustic imaging, the time limited impulse response…
