The principle of Green＇s function extraction is often related to the requirement of equipartitioning, which stipulates that the energy of field fluctuations is distributed evenly in some sense. We show the meaning of equipartitioning for a variety of different formulations for Green＇s function retrieval. We show that equipartitioning is not a sufficient condition, and provide several examples that illustrate this point. We discuss the implications of lack of equipartitioning for various schemes for the reconstruction of the Green＇s function in seismology. The theory for Green＇s function extraction is usually based on a statistical theory that relies on ensemble averages. Since there is only one Earth, one usually replaces the ensemble average with a time average. We show that such a replacement only makes sense when attenuation is taken into account, and show how the theory for Green＇s function extraction for oscillating systems can be extended to incorporate attenuation.展开更多

In this paper we introduce our recent results on the applications and generalization of classical Rayleigh reciprocity relation： higher derivative reciprocity relations as a generalization of the classical one and a theoretical proof on the Green＇s function retrieval from volume noises.展开更多
