An algorithm for three‐dimensional wave equation migration in the presence of lateral velocity gradients is developed. The algorithm is based geophysically on the exploding reflector model and mathematically on integral solutions to the scalar wave equation. In addition, the velocity is assumed to vary slowly over a seismic wavelength. The primary application of the algorithm is to stacked sections. However, if the velocity is a function of depth only, the algorithm may be used to migrate and/or image common‐depth‐point gathers.

To calculate the unit-impulse response matrix of an unbounded medium governed by the scalar wave equation for use in a time-domain analysis of unbounded medium-structure interaction, the consistent infinitesimal finite element cell method is developed for the three-dimensional case. Its derivation is based on the finite element formulation and on similarity. The discretization is only performed on the structure-medium interface, yielding a reduction of the spatial dimension by 1. The procedure is exact in the radial direction and converges to the exact solution in the finite element sense in the circumferential directions.

Motion of massive and massless test particle in equilibrium and nonequilibrium case is discussed in a dyadosphere geometry through Hamilton–Jacobi method. Scalar wave equation for massless particle is analyzed to show the absence of superradiance in the case of dyadosphere geometry.
