Integral Equation Methods for the Inverse Obstacle Problem with Generalized Impedance Boundary Condition

چکیده
Determining the shape of an inclusion within a conducting medium from voltage and current measurements on the accessible boundary of the medium can be modeled as an inverse boundary value problem for the Laplace equation. We present a solution method for such an inverse boundary value problem with a generalized impedance boundary condition on the inclusion via boundary integral equations. Both the determination of the unknown boundary and the determination of the unknown impedance functions are considered. In addition to describing the reconstruction algorithms and illustrating their feasibility by numerical examples we also obtain a uniqueness result on determining the impedance coefficients.

Integral Equation Methods in Inverse Obstacle Scattering with a Generalized Impedance Boundary Condition
The inverse problem under consideration is to reconstruct the shape of an impenetrable two-dimensional obstacle with a generalized impedance boundary condition from the far field pattern for scattering of time-harmonic acoustic or E-polarized electromagnetic plane waves. We propose an inverse algorithm that extends the approach suggested by Johansson and Sleeman [10] for the case of the inverse...

In this paper, we consider an inverse boundary value problem for two-dimensional heat equation in an annular domain. This problem consists of determining the temperature on the interior boundary curve from the Cauchy data (boundary temperature and heat flux) on the exterior boundary curve. To this end, the boundary integral equation method is used. Since the resulting system of linea...
متن کاملParameter determination in a parabolic inverse problem in general dimensions
It is well known that the parabolic partial differential equations in two or more space dimensions with overspecified boundary data, feature in the mathematical modeling of many phenomena. In this article, an inverse problem of determining an unknown time-dependent source term of a parabolic equation in general dimensions is considered. Employing some transformations, we change the inverse prob...
متن کاملReconstruction of shapes and impedance functions using few far-field measurements
We consider the reconstruction of complex obstacles from few farfield acoustic measurements. The complex obstacle is characterized by its shape and an impedance function distributed along its boundary through Robin type boundary conditions. This is done by minimizing an objective functional, which is the L distance between the given far field information g∞ and the far field of the scattered wa...
متن کاملOn Simultaneous Identification of the Shape and Generalized Impedance Boundary Condition in Obstacle Scattering
Abstract. We consider the inverse obstacle scattering problem of determining both the shape and the “equivalent impedance” from far field measurements at a fixed frequency. In this work, the surface impedance is represented by a second order surface differential operator (refer to as generalized impedance boundary condition) as opposed to a scalar function. The generalized impedance boundary co...
