Inverse Elastic Scattering for a Random Potential

Inverse scattering problem for the Impulsive Schrodinger equation with a polynomial spectral dependence in the potential

In the present work, under some di¤erentiability conditions on the potential functions , we …rst reduce the inverse scattering problem (ISP) for the polynomial pencil of the Scroedinger equation to the corresponding ISP for the generalized matrix Scrödinger equation . Then ISP will be solved in analogy of the Marchenko method. We aim to establish an e¤ective algorithm for uniquely reconstructin...

Inverse scattering for elastic plane cracks

It is known that hard planar acoustic screens generate null far-eld amplitude on the directions deened by the plane that encloses them. We proved in an earlier paper that this property actually characterizes plane screens among scatterers of any shape, and we generalized it to other boundary conditions. Furthermore it was proved that a single incident wave is suucient to distinguish screens tha...

Inverse obstacle scattering for elastic waves

Topological Derivative for the Inverse Scattering of Elastic Waves

To establish an alternative analytical framework for the elastic-wave imaging of underground cavities, the focus of this study is an extension of the concept of topological derivative, rooted in elastostatics and shape optimization, to three-dimensional elastodynamics involving semiinfinite and infinite solids. The main result of the proposed boundary integral approach is a formula for topologi...

Direct and Inverse Elastic Scattering Problems for Diffraction Gratings

This paper is concerned with the direct and inverse scattering of time-harmonic plane elastic waves by unbounded periodic structures (diffraction gratings). We present a variational approach to the forward scattering problems with Lipschitz grating profiles and give a survey of recent uniqueness and existence results. Concerning the inverse problem, global uniqueness results within the class of...
