Seismic inversion is a complex wave equation coefficients problem. Modern geophysical equipment provides researchers with high resolution images and seismograms which makes the wave data inversion more and more challenging.

Dispersion is a familiar effect of disturbances disappearing to far away places. Intuitively this suggests some kind of transport mechanism, but a more careful "accounting" relates dispersion to a link between spatial and temporal oscillations.

The classical Martin boundary is concerned with harmonic functions: the non-negative solutions of Laplace's equation 1/2\Delta u=0 in a given domain D of R^n. Harmonic functions are extensively studied and well understood. A culminating result is the integral representation of harmonic functions in terms of the so-called Martin kernel. Can one develop a similar theory for the nonlinear p.d.e. 1/2 \Delta u=2 u^2 as well?
