It is a matter of experience that nonlinear waves in dispersive media, propagating primarily in one direction, may appear periodic in small space and time scales, but their characteristics --- amplitude, phase, wave number, etc. --- slowly…

Wave propagation problems are notoriously difficult to solve. Time-harmonic problems are especially challenging in mid and high frequency regimes. The main reason is the oscillatory nature of solutions, meaning that the number of degrees of…

We present a scheme for numerically solving Maxwell's equations in a weakly perturbed spacetime without introducing the usual geometric optics approximation. Using this scheme, we study light propagation through a spherical perturbation of…
