Singlarities of Wave Fronts
In this paper, we discuss the recognition problem for Ak-type singularities on wave fronts. We give computable and simple criteria of these singularities, which will play a fundamental role in generalizing the authors’ previous work “the geometry of fronts” for surfaces. The crucial point to prove our criteria for Ak-singularities is to introduce a suitable parametrization of the singularities ...
متن کاملOptical Wave Fronts
In recent years, the formation of laser beams with specific intensity and phase distributions has attracted considerable attention. The formation of such laser beams has been efficiently achieved by various intracavity mode selection techniques1 or by external conversion of a given laser beam distribution into the desired one. Recently Machavariani et al. presented a new method for efficiently ...
متن کاملWave fronts in inhomogeneous neural field models
In this work we investigate the influence of inhomogeneities on wave front propagation in an excitatory neural field model describing synaptic activity in the absence of delays. This allows the derivation of the spatial (and hence temporal) behaviour of the front velocity under the assumption that the front is approximatively homogeneous in a very small time window. With this assumption we can ...
متن کاملTurbulence-degraded wave fronts as fractal surfaces
We identify wave fronts that have passed through atmospheric turbulence as fractal surfaces from the Fractional Brownian motion family. The fractal character can be ascribed to both the spatial and the temporal behavior. The simulation of such wave fronts can be performed with fractal algorithms such as the Successive Random Additions algorithm. An important benefit is that wave fronts can be p...
متن کاملStability of fronts in inhomogeneous wave equations
This paper presents an introduction to the existence and stability of stationary fronts in wave equations with finite length spatial inhomogeneities. The main focus will be on wave equations with one or two inhomogeneities. It will be shown that the fronts come in families. The front solutions provide a parameterisation of the length of the inhomogeneities in terms of the local energy of the po...
