In this book several connections between probability theory and wave propagation are explored. The connection comes via the probabilistic (or path integral) representation of both the (fixed frequency) Green functions and of the propagators -operators mapping initial into present time data. The formalism includes both waves in continuous space and in discrete structures. One of the main applications of the formalism developed is to inverse problems in wave propagation. Using the probabilistic formalism, the parameters of the medium and the surfaces determining the region of propagation appear...

The book describes a useful tool for solving linear inverse problems subject to convex constraints. The method of maximum entropy in the mean automatically takes care of the constraints. It consists of a technique for transforming a large dimensional inverse problem into a small dimensional non-linear variational problem.
A variety of mathematical aspects of the maximum entropy method are explored as well.
