   <dim:field mdschema="dc" element="description" qualifier="abstract">This thesis presents an interpretation of a result on the stability of waves in layered media with respect to Webster&amp;apos;s horn equation and travel-time velocity as a parameter The stability property of waves is related to the forward map. It is known that the forward map as a function of the vertical wave velocity is not locally Lipschitz continuous. This thesis describes a proof that the forward map as a function of the travel tine velocity is Lipschitz continuous, and even differentiable.</dim:field>
