Singularity points and their degeneracies in anisotropic media

Abstract

We define double (S1S2) and triple (PS1S2) singularity points and their degeneracy classes in triclinic anisotropic media. We derive equations for the group velocity image for all these cases. The degeneracy classes are defined by factorization of quadratic (double singularity point) and cubic (triple singularity point) forms with three variables.
