Distribution of complex transmission eigenvalues for spherically stratified media

چکیده
In this paper, we employ transformation operators and Levinson’s density formula to study the distribution of interior transmission eigenvalues for a spherically stratified media. In particular, we show that under smoothness condition on the index of refraction that there exist an infinite number of complex eigenvalues and there exist situations when there are no real eigenvalues. We also consider the case when absorption is present and show that under appropriate conditions there exist an infinite number of eigenvalues near the real axis.

The Interior Transmission Eigenvalue Problem for Absorbing Media ‡
In the recent years the transmission eigenvalue problem has been extensively studied for non-absorbing media. In this paper we initiate the study of this problem for absorbing media. In particular we show that, in the case of absorbing media, transmission eigenvalues form a discrete set, exist for sufficiently small absorption and for spherically stratified media exist without this assumption. ...
متن کاملThe Interior Transmission Eigenvalue Problem
Abstract. We consider the inverse problem of determining the spherically symmetric index of refraction n(r) from a knowledge of the corresponding transmission eigenvalues (which can be determined from field pattern of the scattered wave). We also show that for constant index of refraction n(r) = n, the smallest transmission eigenvalue suffices to determine n, complex eigenvalues exist for n suf...
متن کاملTransmission eigenvalues in inverse scattering theory
In the past few years transmission eigenvalues have become an important area of research in inverse scattering theory with active research being undertaken in many parts of the world. Transmission eigenvalues appear in the study of scattering by inhomogeneous media and are closely related to non-scattering waves. Such eigenvalues provide information about material properties of the scattering m...
متن کاملA Spectral-Element Method for Transmission Eigenvalue Problems
We develop an efficient spectral-element method for computing the transmission eigenvalues in two-dimensional radially stratified media. Our method is based on a dimension reduction approach which reduces the problem to a sequence of one-dimensional eigenvalue problems that can be efficiently solved by a spectral-element method. We provide an error analysis which shows that the convergence rate...
متن کاملA numerical study of the Schrödinger - Newton equation 1 : Perturbing the spherically - symmetric stationary states
In this article we consider the linear stability of the spherically-symmetric stationary solutions of the Schrödinger-Newton equations. These have been found numerically by Moroz et al [9] and Bernstein et al [3]. The ground state, characterised as the state of lowest energy , turns out to be linearly stable, with only imaginary eigenvalues. The (n + 1)-th state is linearly unstable having n qu...
