Short-Wave Solutions of the Wave Equation with Localized Velocity Perturbations Whose Wavelength Is Not Comparable to the Scale of Localized Inhomogeneity. One-Dimensional Case

Abstract

The paper studies a wave equation whose velocity has a localized perturbation at some point \(x_0\). The initial condition has the form of a rapidly oscillating wave packet whose wavelength is not comparable with the scale of the inhomogeneity. In this case, the length of the initial wave is of the order of \(\varepsilon,\) and the width of the localized inhomogeneity is of the order of \(\sqrt{\varepsilon},\) where \(\varepsilon\) is a small parameter that tends to 0.
