In general anisotropic inhomogeneous elasticity, disturbances propagate along rays which are neither straight nor perpendicular to the wave fronts, but, as in optics, they are still characterized by their rendering the time of travel between two points stationary.

A novel numerical approach is presented for solving the problem of three-dimensional eigenray tracing in an ocean channel. A variational method is developed based on Fermat's principle which yields eigenrays directly without having to search for a ray which reaches the receiver. The algorithm yields

An extension of Permat's principle to the stochastic caSe is presented in order to treat ray propagation in random media. The concept of dynamic programming permits one to derive a sequence of stochastic eiiional equations from which a sequence of rays can be traced us&g Hamilton's equations. The ex
