Seismic Wave Propagation in Media with Complex Geometries, Simulation of

Glossary Numerical methods Processes in nature are often described by partial differential equations. Finding solutions to those equations is at the heart of many studies aiming at the explanation of observed data. Simulations of realistic physical processes requires generally the use of numerical methods – a special branch of applied mathematics – that approximate the partial differential equa...

Coherence theory of electromagnetic wave propagation through stratified N-layer media.

The theory of second-order coherence in connection with wave propagation through a stratified N-layer (SNL) medium is developed. Especially, the influence of the SNL medium on the propagation of the coherence generated by a given state of coherence at the entrance plane of the medium is considered. The generalization of the van Cittert-Zernike theorem is obtained, and the propagation of the sec...

Fundamentals of Seismic Wave Propagation

In her book Rationality and Coordination (Cambridge University Press,

Cristina Bicchieri brings together (and adds to) her own contributions to game theory and the philosophy of economics published in various journals in the period 1987-1992. The book, however, is not a collection of separate articles but rather a homogeneous unit organized around some central themes in the foundations of non-cooperative game theory. Bicchieri's exposition is admirably clear and ...

Seismic Wave-Field Propagation Modelling using the Euler Method

Wave-field extrapolation based on solving the wave equation is an important step in seismic modeling and needs a high level of accuracy. It has been implemented through a various numerical methods such as finite difference method as the most popular and conventional one. Moreover, the main drawbacks of the finite difference method are the low level of accuracy and the numerical dispersion for l...
