The Convex Back-Scattering Support
نویسندگان
چکیده
A monochromatic, i.e. fixed frequency, back-scattering kernel measured at all angles does not uniquely determine the index of refraction in an inhomogeneous medium, nor can it guarantee any upper bound on the support of the inhomogeneity. We show that it is possible to associate with any such kernel its convex back-scattering support, a convex set which must be a subset of the convex hull of the support of any inhomogeneity with that back-scattering kernel. For the Born approximation, we further demonstrate that there is an inhomogeneity supported in any neighborhood of the convex back-scattering support which has exactly that back-scattering kernel. Lastly, we discuss a practical implementation of these results and include a numerical example.

On the quadratic support of strongly convex functions
In this paper, we first introduce the notion of $c$-affine functions for $c> 0$. Then we deal with some properties of strongly convex functions in real inner product spaces by using a quadratic support function at each point which is $c$-affine. Moreover, a Hyers–-Ulam stability result for strongly convex functions is shown.
متن کاملThe Convex Scattering Support in a Background Medium
We discuss inverse problems for the Helmholtz equation at fixed energy, specifically the inverse source problem and the inverse scattering problem from a medium or an obstacle. In [S. Kusiak and J. Sylvester, Comm. Pure Appl. Math., 56 (2003), pp. 1525–1548], we introduced the convex scattering support of a far field, a set which will be a subset of the convex hull of the support of any source ...
متن کاملConvex Source Support and Its Application to Electric Impedance Tomography
In this talk we extend the concept of the convex scattering support to the case of electrostatics in a bounded domain. Furthermore, we apply this approach to devise a new reconstruction algorithm in electric impedance tomography. The convex scattering support was developed by Stephen Kusiak and John Sylvester, cf. [3],[4], and is meant to be the smallest convex set that contains a scattering so...
متن کاملA scattering support for broadband sparse far field measurements
The scattering support is an estimate of the support of a source or scatterer, based on a limited set of far field measurements. In this paper, we suppose that the far field is measured at all wavenumbers, but only at a few, say N, angles θi ∈ . From these measurements, we produce a -convex polygon (a convex polygon with normals in the θi directions). We show that this polygon must be contained...
متن کاملاثر شفافیت الکترولیت بر پسپراکندگی نور از لایه پسپراکننده نوری در سلولهای خورشیدی رنگدانهای
Conventionally, a film of TiO2 particles of ~300 nm size is employed in DSCs as the back reflector film to enhance the light harvesting. In this study, two electrolytes with different transparencies, iodide-based and cobalt-based electrolytes, were used to investigate the transparency effect of electrolytes on light back-scattering from back scattering layer and also to study its effect on the ...
