Perturbations in complex media, due to their own dynamical evolution or to external effects, are often seen as detrimental. Therefore, a common strategy, especially for telecommunication and imaging applications, is to limit the sensitivity…
We consider the sound ranging, or source localization, problem - find the source-point from the moments when the wave-sphere of linearly, with time, increasing radius reaches the sensor-points - in the proper metric spaces (any closed ball…
