Abstract

We present and test a numerical method which, given an analytical or numerical solution of the Helmholtz equation in a neighborhood of a fixed observation point and assuming that the geometrical optics approximation is relevant, determines at this point the number of crossing rays and computes their directions and associated complex amplitudes.
