Transmission Eigenvalues for Inhomogeneous Media Containing Obstacles
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the interior transmission problem corresponding to the inverse scattering by an inhomogeneous (possibly anisotropic) media in which an impenetrable obstacle with Dirichlet boundary conditions is embedded. Our main focus is to understand the associated eigenvalue problem, more specifically to prove that the transmission eigenvalues form a discrete set and show that they exist. The presence of Dirichlet obstacle brings new difficulties to already complicated situation dealing with a non-selfadjoint eigenvalue problem. In this paper, we employ a variety of variational techniques under various assumptions on the index of refraction as well as the size of the Dirichlet obstacle.

The Perturbation of Transmission Eigenvalues for Inhomogeneous Media in the Presence of Small Penetrable Inclusions
This paper concerns the transmission eigenvalue problem for an inhomogeneous media of compact support containing small penetrable homogeneous inclusions. Assuming that the inhomogeneous background media is known and smooth, we investigate how these small volume inclusions affect the real transmission eigenvalues. Note that for practical applications the real transmission eigenvalues are importa...
متن کاملAsymptotic Expansions for Transmission Eigenvalues for Media with Small Inhomogeneities
We consider the transmission eigenvalue problem for an inhomogeneous medium containing a finite number of diametrically small inhomogeneities of different refractive index. We prove a convergence result for the transmission eigenvalues and eigenvectors corresponding to media with small homogeneities as the diameter of small inhomogeneities goes to zero. In addition we derive rigorously a formul...
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 کاملThe 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.

In this paper we propose an accurate and fast numerical method to obtain scattering fields from lossy dispersive inhomogeneous planar layers for both TE and TM polarizations. A new method is introduced to analyze lossy Inhomogeneous Planar Layers. In this method by applying spline based Galerkin’s method of moment to scalar wave equation and imposing boundary conditions we obtain reflection and...
