Consider the acoustic wave equation with unknown wave speed c, not necessarily smooth. We propose and study an iterative control procedure that erases the history of a wave field up to a given depth in a medium, without any knowledge of c. In the context of seismic or ultrasound imaging, this can be viewed as removing multiple reflections from normal-directed wavefronts. *
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.
