Standard Marchenko redatuming and imaging schemes neglect evanescent waves are based on the assumption that decomposition into downgoing upgoing is possible in subsurface. Recently we have shown propagator matrices, which circumvent these assumptions, can be expressed terms of focusing functions. In this paper generalize relation between matrix functions for a 3D inhomogeneous dissipative medium. Moreover, same type medium discuss transfer
