چکیده

In recent years there has been considerable interest in the inverse scattering problem for anisotropic medium, particularly in the case of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Due to the lack of uniqueness in determining the constitutive parameters, traditional methods for solving the inverse scattering problems based on the use of weak scattering approximations or nonlinear optimization techniques are problematic. On the other hand, since the support is uniquely determined [4], the recently developed linear sampling method [1], [2] for determining the support of the scatterer from the knowledge of the far field pattern at a fixed frequency is ideally suited to solving the inverse scattering problem for anisotropic medium. The unique determination of the support and the linear sampling method for the scalar anisotropic scattering problem were first considered in [4] and [1] respectively. The techniques used in the above papers are based on an analysis of a boundary value problem called the interior transmission problem. This analysis is performed only in the case where the norm of the real part of the matrix A that describes the physical properties of the medium is greater than one. The purpose of this paper is to complete the study of the interior transmission problem in the case where the norm of Re(A) is less then one. Our results imply that the uniqueness result of [4] and the validity of the linear sampling method [1] are also valid for the case ‖Re(A)‖ ≤ 1.

A Variational Approach for the Solution of the Electromagnetic Interior Transmission Problem for Anisotropic Media

The interior transmission problem plays a basic role in the study of inverse scattering problems for inhomogeneous medium. In this paper we study the interior transmission problem for the Maxwell equations in the electromagnetic scattering problem for an anisotropic inhomogeneous object. We use a variational approach which extends the method developed in [15] to the case when the index of refra...

A Uniqueness Theorem for an Inverse Electromagnetic Scattering Problem in Inhomogeneous Anisotropic Media

We show that the support of a (possibly) coated anisotropic medium is uniquely determined by the electric far-field patterns corresponding to incident time-harmonic electromagnetic plane waves with arbitrary polarization and direction. Our proof avoids the use of a fundamental solution to Maxwell’s equations in an anisotropic medium and instead relies on the well-posedness and regularity proper...

Determining Transmission Eigenvalues of Anisotropic Inhomogeneous Media from Far Field Data

We characterize interior transmission eigenvalues of penetrable anisotropic acoustic scattering objects by a technique known as inside-outside duality. This method has recently been identified to be able to link interior eigenvalues of the penetrable scatterer with the behavior of the eigenvalues of the far field operator for the corresponding exterior time-harmonic scattering problem. A basic ...

On the interior transmission eigenvalue problem

We consider the transmission eigenvalue problem corresponding to the scattering problem for anisotropic media for both the scalar Helmholtz equation and Maxwell’s equations in the case when the contrast in the scattering media occurs in two independent functions. We prove the existence of an infinite discrete set of transmission eigenvalues provided that the two contrasts are of opposite signs....

The Existence of an Infinite Discrete Set of Transmission Eigenvalues

We prove the existence of an infinite discrete set of transmission eigenvalues corresponding to the scattering problem for isotropic and anisotropic inhomogeneous media for both the Helmholtz and Maxwell’s equations. Our discussion includes the case of the interior transmission problem for an inhomogeneous medium with cavities, i.e. subregions with contrast zero.
