Kiselev, A. P. Influence of the inhomogeneity of a medium on the directedness of the simplest sources of elastic waves. (Russian. English summary) Zbl 0571.73030 Zap. Nauchn. Semin. Leningr. Otd. Mat. Inst. Steklova 140, 77-87 (1984). The boundary-layer method is used to find the initial data for the first correction term of the ray expansion for a longitudinal wave generated by a point expansion centre. Similar results are obtained for a transversal wave generated by a rotation centre.
