title: Acoustic waves in bounded anisotropic media: theorems, estimations, and computations.
abstract: This paper discusses some basic achievements in theoretical studies on acoustic wave propagation along boundaries in anisotropic solids. In particular, the following issues are reviewed: existence theorems for subsonic surface and interface waves, leaky surface acoustic waves (SAW) and their relation to "supersonic" SAWs and fast exceptional bulk waves, the resonance reflection of bulk waves in the vicinity of leaky wave branches. General conclusions are illustrated by numerical examples.
