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...

We consider the inverse problem of determining shape and location of sound-soft defects inside a known planar inhomogeneous and anisotropic medium through acoustic imaging at low frequency. In order to determine the defects, we perform acoustic boundary measurements, with prescribed boundary conditions of different types. We prove that at most two, suitably chosen, measurements allow us to uniq...

A novel regularized recursive linearization method is developed for a two-dimensional inverse medium scattering problem that arises in near-field optics, which reconstructs the scatterer of an inhomogeneous medium located on a substrate from data accessible through photon scanning tunneling microscopy experiments. Based on multiple frequency scattering data, the method starts from the Born appr...

S U M M A R Y Relations between reflection and transmission responses of horizontally layered media were formulated by Claerbout in 1968 and by many others. In this paper we derive similar relations for 3-D inhomogeneous media. As the starting point for these derivations, we make use of two types of propagation invariants, based on one-way reciprocity theorems of the convolution type and of the...

This paper proposes a three-dimensional imaging approach for contactless ground penetrating radar surveys. The problem is formulated in the linear inverse scattering context and solved by using Singular Values Decomposition tool. A ray-based model accounting electromagnetic signal propagation into an inhomogeneous medium developed to accurately evaluate kernel of integral equation be inverted. ...

It is possible to obtain a quality assurance (QA) of the dosimetry within a short time by using the new mathematical tools for a water phantom where dose measurements were made at two points only for a few square field sizes of the linear accelerator beam. The human body is not homogeneous. Water phantom makes it possible to create inhomogeneous phantoms by introducing blocks within it at suita...

Khokhlov–Zabolotskaya–Kuznetsov equation (φt + φφx − αφxx)x − 1/2(φyy + φzz) = 0 and its solutions are analyzed. A series of complete exact analytical solutions related to the one-dimensional and vectorial inhomogeneous Burgers equation are presented. A concrete example which corresponds to a special form of the inhomogeneous term is analyzed. Reduction to the traveling wave solution is conside...
