AbstractFractional wave equations with attenuation have been proposed by Caputo [5], Szabo [28], Chen and Holm [7], and Kelly et al. [11]. These equations capture the power-law attenuation with frequency observed in many experimental settings when sound waves travel through inhomogeneous media. In particular, these models are useful for medical ultrasound. This paper develops stochastic solutions and weak solutions to the power law wave equation of Kelly et al. [11].

The need for modeling 3-D seismic data in a 2-D setting has motivated investigators to create so‐called 2.5-D modeling methods. One such method proposed by Liner involves the use of an approximate 2.5-D wave operator for constant‐density media. The traveltimes and amplitudes predicted by high‐frequency asymptotic ray series (WKBJ) analysis of the Liner 2.5-D wave equation match those predicted by Bleistein’s 2.5-D ray‐theoretic development in constant wavespeed media. However, high‐frequency analysis indicates that the Liner 2.5-D variable wavespeed equation will have a maximum amplitude error of ±35% in a linear c(z) model where the wavespeed doubles or halves from the beginning to the end of a raypath. These amplitudes are comparable to those produced by converting 2-D data to 2.5-D using correction factors of the type proposed by Emersoy and Oristaglio and Deregowski and Brown, with the exception being that the Liner equation lacks the half derivative waveform correction present in these operators. An alternate method of constructing 2.5-D wave operators based on the WKBJ analysis is proposed. This method permits variable density (acoustic) 2.5-D wave operators to be derived.
