Abstract
We derive a representation theorem for modeling directional wavefields using reciprocity theorem of the convolution-type. A Neumann series expansion of the representation yields a series that is similar to that of Bremmer. A generalized Neumann series is also derived similar to that used for solving the non-directional Lippmann-Schwinger representation. An example shows how the series can model each scattering order separately for inhomogeneous media. This could potentially be useful in imaging and inverse problems.
