  • Abstract
    The eikonal equation for moving media (first order in V/c) is derived for the electromagnetic case. Maxwell´s equations with Minkowski´s constitutive relations, and the dynamic programming approach, lead to essentially the same result. The acoustical eikonal equation for moving media is derived by means of the dynamic programming method. A result obtained by Kritikos, believed to be wrong, is shown to be valid as an approximation.
