In the case of the equidistant discretization of the Airy differential equation (“discrete Airy equation”) the exact solution can be found explicitly. This fact is used to derive a discrete transparent boundary condition (TBC) for a Schrödinger–type equation with linear varying potential, which can be used in “parabolic equation” simulations in (underwater) acoustics and for radar propagation i...

Underwater Acoustic methods have been extensively used to locate and identify marine objects. These applications include locating underwater vehicles, finding shipwrecks, imaging sediments and imaging bubble fields. Ocean is fairly transparent to sound and opaque to all other sources of radiation. Acoustics technology is the most effective tool for monitoring this environment because of the sou...
