Non-Trapping sets and Huygens Principle

Abstract: Abstract.We consider the evolution of a set Λ ⊂ R 2 according to the Huygens principle: i.e. the domain at time t > 0, Λt, is the set of the points whose distance from Λ is lower than t. We give some general results for this evolution, with particular care given to the behavior of the perimeter of the evoluted set as a function of time. We define a class of sets (non-trapping sets) for which the perimeter is a continuous function of t, and we give an algorithm to approximate the evolution. Finally we restrict … Show more
