Abstract: The Jacobi equation along a geodesic with random curvature describes the light propagation in heterogeneous Universe. Conjugate points on a geodesic correspond to the images of gravitational lenses. The Jacobi equation is simulated and statistical distributions of the distances between conjugate points along geodesics are obtained. Some known theoretical estimates and the results we obtained are compared.

Keywords: Jacobi equation, distribution of conjugate points, geodesic with random curvature, statistical distributions.
