SummaryWe derive a representation theorem for modeling directional wavefields using reciprocity theorem of the convolution-type. A Neumann series expansion of the representation yields a series that is similar to that of Bremmer. A generalized Neumann series is also derived similar to that used for solving the non-directional Lippmann-Schwinger representation. An example shows how the series can model each scattering order separately for inhomogeneous media. This could potentially be useful in imaging and inverse problems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
