This paper is concerned with the inverse time-harmonic elastic scattering problem of recovering unbounded rough surfaces in two dimensions. We assume that elastic plane waves with different directions are incident onto a rigid rough surface…
We adapt the microcanonical framework of equilibrium statistical mechanics to predict the statistics of short waves in inhomogeneous moving media. For steady inhomogeneities and background flow, we compute the wave spectrum at any location…
A simple method for some class of inverse obstacle scattering problems is introduced. The observation data are given by a wave field measured on a known surface surrounding unknown obstacles over a finite time interval. The wave is…
This is the second part in a series of two papers that concern with the quantitative analysis of the electromagnetic field enhancement and anomalous diffraction by a periodic array of subwavelength slits. In this part, we explore the…
The theory of acoustic wave scattering by many small bodies is developed for bodies with impedance boundary condition. It is shown that if one embeds many small particles in a bounded domain, filled with a known material, then one can…
We consider several intriguingly connected topics in the theory of wave propagation: geometrical characterizations of radiationless sources, non-radiating incident waves, interior transmission eigenfunctions, and their applications to…
The scattering of free particles constrained to move on a cylindrically symmetric curved surface is studied. The nontrivial geometry of the space contributes to the scattering cross section through the kinetic as well as a possible scalar…
This paper describes the systematic application of local topological methods for detecting interfaces and related anomalies in complicated high-dimensional data. By examining the topology of small regions around each point, one can…
The scattering of an incident plane wave on two Aharonov-Bohm vortices with opposite fluxes is considered in detail. The presence of the vortices imposes non-trivial boundary conditions for the partial waves on a cut joining the two…
In quantitative analysis of seafloor imagery, it is common to model the collection of individual pixel intensities scattered by the seafloor as a random variable with a given statistical distribution. There is a considerable literature on…
Small amplitude inhomogeneous plane waves are studied as they propagate on the free surface of a predeformed semi-infinite body made of Bell constrained material. The predeformation corresponds to a finite static pure homogeneous strain.…
Scattering of electromagnetic (EM) waves by one and many small ($ka\ll 1$) impedance particles $D_m$ of an arbitrary shape, embedded in a homogeneous medium, is studied. Analytic formula for the field, scattered by one particle, is derived.…
We derive an analytical expression for the scattering of a scalar wave from a perfectly conducting self-affine one dimensional surface in the framework of the Kirchhoff approximation. We show that most of the results can be recovered via a…
Modified scattering phenomena are encountered in the study of global properties for nonlinear dispersive partial differential equations in situations where the decay of solutions at infinity is borderline and scattering fails just barely.…
Using polarization measurements in remote sensing and optical studies allows retrieving more information. We consider relationship between the reflection coefficients of plane and rough surfaces for linearly polarized waves. Certain…
We report the observation of weak localization of seismic waves in a natural environment. It emerges as a doubling of the seismic energy around the source within a spot of width a wavelength, that is several tens of meters in our case. The…
Spin waves are promising candidates to carry, transport, and process information. Controlling the propagation characteristics of spin waves in magnetic materials is an essential ingredient for designing spin-wave based computing…
In this paper, we present a calculation of seismic scattering from irregular surface topography in the Born approximation. Based on US-wide topographic data, we investigate topographic scattering at specific sites to demonstrate its impact…
We study experimentally how waves affect distribution of particles that float on a water surface. We show that clustering of small particles in a standing wave is a nonlinear effect with the clustering time decreasing as the square of the…
The propagation of surface water waves interacting with a current and an uneven bottom is studied. Such a situation is typical for ocean waves where the winds generate currents in the top layer of the ocean. The role of the bottom…
