A problem of diffraction by an elongated body of revolution is studied. The incident wave falls along the axis. The wavelength is small comparatively to the dimensions of the body. The parabolic equation of the diffraction theory is used to…

We revisit the classical problem of diffusion of a scalar (or heat) released in a two-dimensional medium with an embedded periodic array of impermeable obstacles such as perforations. Homogenisation theory provides a coarse-grained…

We study the wave equation in a bounded domain or on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. Assume that we are given the hyperbolic Neumann-to-Dirichlet map on the boundary corresponding to physical boundary measurements. We consider…

In classical mechanics and electromagnetism, interference occurs when two or more waves overlap at the same point in spacetime. However, the advent of quantum electrodynamics (QED) and its remarkable success in describing light-matter…

In this paper, we establish the existence of Stokes waves with piecewise smooth vorticity in a two-dimensional, infinitely deep fluid domain. These waves represent traveling water waves propagating over sheared currents in a semi-infinite…

We consider the propagation of acoustic waves in a 2D waveguide unbounded in one direction and containing a compact obstacle. The wavenumber is fixed so that only one mode can propagate. The goal of this work is to propose a method to cloak…
We consider the inverse problem for the wave equation which consists of determining an unknown space-dependent force function acting on a vibrating structure from Cauchy boundary data. Since only boundary data are used as measurements, the…
This article is concerned with the reconstruction of obstacle $\O$ immersed in a fluid flowing in a bounded domain $\Omega$ in the two dimensional case. We assume that the fluid motion is governed by the Stokes-Brinkmann equations. We make…
We apply boundary integral equations for the first time to the two-dimensional scattering of time-harmonic waves from a smooth obstacle embedded in a continuously-graded unbounded medium. In the case we solve the square of the wavenumber…
This paper investigates the problem of time-harmonic acoustic scattering in an inhomogeneous medium with a complex topological structure. Specifically, the medium is anisotropic and contains several disjoint sound-soft obstacles. This model…
Consider the acoustic wave equation with unknown, not necessarily smooth, wave speed $c$. We propose and study an iterative control procedure that erases the history of a wave field up to a given depth in a medium, without any knowledge of…

The wave-particle duality has been said to contain the entire mystery of quantum mechanics. Many delayed-choice experiments have been performed to further understand the wave-particle duality. Here, we reveal some flaws in the known…
