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 کاملTwo - wave interaction in ideal magnetohydrodynamics
The weakly nonlinear interaction of sound and linearly polarised Alfvén waves propagating in the same direction along an applied magnetic field is studied. It is found that a sound wave is coupled to the Alfvén wave with double period and wavelength when the sound and Alfvén speeds are equal. The Alfvén wave drives the sound wave through the ponderomotive force, while the sound wave returns ene...
متن کاملLinear wave propagation in relativistic magnetohydrodynamics
The properties of linear Alfvén, slow, and fast magnetoacoustic waves for uniform plasmas in relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) are discussed, augmenting the well-known expressions for their phase speeds with knowledge on the group speed. A 3 + 1 formalism is purposely adopted to make direct comparison with the Newtonian MHD limits easier and to stress the graphical representation of their...
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 ...
