We consider the imaging of objects buried in unknown heterogeneous media. The medium is probed by using classical (e.g. acoustic or electromagnetic) waves. When heterogeneities in the medium become too strong, inversion methodologies based on a microscopic description of wave propagation (e.g. a wave equation or Maxwell's equations) become strongly dependent on the unknown details of the heterogeneous medium. In some situations, it is preferable to use a macroscopic model for a quantity that is…

Analysis of the Double Scattering Scintillation of Waves in Random Media
High frequency waves propagating in highly oscillatory media are often modeled by radiative transfer equations that describes the propagation of the energy density of the waves. When the medium is…
Correlations of heterogeneous wave fields propagating in homogeneous media
The paper concerns the analysis of the correlations of wave fields propagating in heterogeneous media. We show that selected field-field correlations asymptotically propagate in non-scattering media,…

Simultaneous recovery of a source term and an isotropic initial condition for radiative transport
In this paper, we investigate the simultaneous recovery of a source of the form $\sigma(t,x,\theta) f(x)$ (with $\sigma$? known) and an isotropic initial condition $u_{0}(x)$, using the single…
Correlation of ambient noise signals in the radiative transport regime
The cross correlation of the wave signals emitted by ambient noise sources can be used to estimate the Green’s function of the wave equation in an inhomogeneous medium. In this paper we clarify the…

TLDR
It is shown that wave energy is not stable, and instead scintillation is created by the wave dynamics, when the initial energy distribution is sufficiently singular.

TLDR
The stationary phase method is used and it is shown that the travel time can be effectively estimated when the ray joining the two sensors continues into the noise source region.
