A globally convergent method for a 3-D inverse medium problem for the generalized Helmholtz equation

چکیده
A 3-D inverse medium problem in the frequency domain is considered. Another name for this problem is Coefficient Inverse Problem. The goal is to reconstruct spatially distributed dielectric constants from scattering data. Potential applications are in detection and identification of explosive-like targets. A single incident plane wave and multiple frequencies are used. A new numerical method is proposed. A theorem is proved, which claims that a small neigborhood of the exact solution of that problem is reached by this method without any advanced knowledge of that neighborhood. We call this property of that numerical method “global convergence”. Results of numerical experiments for the case of the backscattering data are presented.

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...

متن کاملAn iterative method for the Hermitian-generalized Hamiltonian solutions to the inverse problem AX=B with a submatrix constraint
In this paper, an iterative method is proposed for solving the matrix inverse problem $AX=B$ for Hermitian-generalized Hamiltonian matrices with a submatrix constraint. By this iterative method, for any initial matrix $A_0$, a solution $A^*$ can be obtained in finite iteration steps in the absence of roundoff errors, and the solution with least norm can be obtained by choosing a special kind of...

norwegian university of science and technology trondheim, norway A globally convergent numerical method for a multidimensional Coefficient Inverse Problem for a hyperbolic equation is presented. It is shown that this technique provides a good starting point for the so-called finite element adaptive method (adaptivity). This leads to a natural two-stage numerical procedure, which synthesizes bot...
متن کاملComputational Inverse Medium Scattering at Fixed Frequency
A continuation method is presented for solving the inverse medium scattering problem of the Helmholtz equation in R. The algorithm requires only single-frequency scattering data. Using an initial guess from the Born approximation, each update is obtained via recursive linearization on the spatial frequency of a one-parameter family of plane waves by solving one forward and one adjoint problem o...
