Elastic Waves by Vassily Babich

This book is concerned with mathematical aspects of theory of high-frequency elastic waves, which is also known as the ray method. The aim of the book is to present a clear systematic description of the ray method, and at the same time to emphasize its mathematical beauty.

"The present book treats high-frequency elastic waves, which occur in many contexts such as in seismic science, acoustics, mathematical physics, variational and tensor calculus, Riemannian and Finsler geometry, functional analysis, etc[. . . .] All in all, the book presents the state-of-the-art of the mathematical theory of high-frequency elastic waves."

-Angela Slavova, Institute of Mathematics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia, Bulgaria

Vassily M. Babich is a leading Russian expert in mathematical theory of diffraction and wave propagation. He is a co-author of ten monographs, and is the head of the laboratory of Mathematical Methods in Geophysics in the St. Petersburg branch of the Steklov Institute of Mathematics, as well as a part-time Professor at the Mathematical Faculty of St. Petersburg State University.

Aleksei P. Kiselev has authored around 100 papers in diffraction and propagation of waves. He previously worked in seismic exploration, and in mechanical engineering at Leningrad (St. Petersburg). He is now a leading researcher in the Babich Laboratory, a part-time Professor at the Physical Faculty of St. Petersburg State University and a part-time researcher in the Institute of Mechanical Engineering.
