Small frequency approximation of (causal) dissipative pressure waves

Abstract

In this paper we discuss the problem of small frequency approximation of the causal dissipative pressure wave model proposed in \cite{KoScBo:11}. We show that for appropriate situations the Green function $G^c$ of the causal wave model can be approximated by a noncausal Green function $G_M^{pl}$ that has frequencies only in the small frequency range $[-M,M]$ ($M\le 1/{\tau }_0$, ${\tau }_0$ relaxation time) and obeys a power law. For such cases, the noncausal wave $G_M^{pl}$ contains partial waves propagating arbitrarily fast but the sum of the noncausal waves is small in the $L^2-$sense.
