Transport equations for elastic and other waves in random media

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived and analyzed transport equations for the energy density of waves of any kind in a random medium, taking account of nonuniformities of the background medium, scattering by random inhomogeneities, polarization effects, coupling of different types of waves, etc.

Diffusion approximation and computation of the critical size

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the spectral properties of the transport equation and how the diffusion approximation is related to the computation of the critical size, and they showed that when the transport operator is almost conservative, the critical value of the parameter 17 is large and it is exactly for this range of value that the diffusion approximation is accurate.

Inverse transport theory and applications

TL;DR: Inverse transport consists of reconstructing the optical properties of a domain from measurements performed at the domain's boundary as mentioned in this paper, which finds applications in medical imaging (optical tomography, optical molecular imaging) and in geophysical imaging (remote sensing in the Earth's atmosphere).

Asymptotic analysis for periodic structures

TL;DR: In this article, the authors give a systematic introduction of multiple scale methods for partial differential equations, including their original use for rigorous mathematical analysis in elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic problems, and with the use of probabilistic methods when appropriate.
