The combinatorics of scattering in layered media

Reflection and transmission of waves in piecewise constant layered media are important in various imaging modalities and have been studied extensively. Despite this, no exact time domain formulas for the Green's functions have been established. Indeed, there is an underlying combinatorial obstacle: the analysis of scattering sequences. In the present paper we exploit a representation of scattering sequences in terms of trees to solve completely the inherent combinatorial problem, and thereby derive new, explicit formulas for the reflection and transmission Green's functions.
