Watching a Travelling Wave Watching a Travelling Wave

Travelling waves are a feature of many spatio-temporal series. The use of single side band filtering and the complex singular value decomposition to isolate such waves is described. As with other applications of the singular value decomposition, such as principal components, the results can be difficult to interpret. In the case of travelling waves, however, a dynamic graphical display using co...

Gravity Wave Watching

It is suggested that gravity waves could, in several cases, be detected by means of already (or shortly to be) available technology, independently of current efforts of detection. The present is a follow-up on a recently suggested detection strategy based on gravity-wave-induced deviations of null geodesics. The new development is that a way was found to probe the waves close to the source, whe...
