Computing estimates on material properties from transmission eigenvalues
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work is motivated by inverse scattering problems, those problems where one is interested in reconstructing the shape and the material properties of an inclusion from electromagnetic farfields measurements. More precisely we are interested in complementing the so called sampling methods, (those methods that enables one to reconstruct just the geometry of the scatterer), by providing estimates on the material properties. We shall use for that purpose the so-called transmission eigenvalues. Our method is based on reformulating the so-called interior transmission eigenvalue problem into an eigenvalue problem for the material coefficients. We shall restrict ourselves to the two dimensional setting of the problem and treat the cases of both TE and TM polarizations. We present a number of numerical experiments that validate our methodology for homogeneous and inhomogeneous inclusions and backgrounds. We also treat the case of a background with absorption and the case of scatterers with multiple connected components of different refractive indexes.

Plus précisément, nous nous intéressons à complémenter les méthodes d’échantillonnage (permettant la reconstruction de la géométrie de l’inclusion), en fournissant des estimations sur les propriétés physiques du matériau. Nous utiliserons à cette fin les fréquences de transmission qui sont les valeurs propres du problème de transmission intérieur. Notre méthode est basée sur la reformulation de ce problème en un problème de valeur propre pour l’indice de réfraction. Nous nous limitons dans ce travail au cas bidimensionnel et traitons les deux cas de polarisations TE et TM. Nous présentons un certain nombre d’expériences numériques qui valident notre méthodologie pour les inclusions homogènes et inhomogènes. Nous traitons également le cas d’un milieu de référence avec ou sans absorption ainsi que le cas d’inclusions avec un ou plusieurs composantes connexes possédant des indices de réfraction différents.

Finite Element Methods for Maxwell's Transmission Eigenvalues
The transmission eigenvalue problem plays a critical role in the theory of qualitative methods for inhomogeneous media in inverse scattering theory. Efficient computational tools for transmission eigenvalues are needed to motivate improvements to theory, and, more importantly as part of inverse algorithms for estimating material properties. In this paper, we propose two finite element methods t...
متن کاملTransmission eigenvalues and non-destructive testing of anisotropic magnetic materials with voids
In this paper we consider the transmission eigenvalue problem corresponding to the scattering problem for an anisotropic magnetic materials with voids, i.e. subregions with refractive index the same as the background. Here we restrict ourselves to the scalar case of TE-polarization. Under weak assumptions on the material properties, we show that the transmission eigenvalues can be determined fr...
متن کاملA mathematically simple method based on denition for computing eigenvalues, generalized eigenvalues and quadratic eigenvalues of matrices
In this paper, a fundamentally new method, based on the denition, is introduced for numerical computation of eigenvalues, generalized eigenvalues and quadratic eigenvalues of matrices. Some examples are provided to show the accuracy and reliability of the proposed method. It is shown that the proposed method gives other sequences than that of existing methods but they still are convergent to th...
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 کاملBounds on positive interior transmission eigenvalues
This paper contains lower bounds on the counting function of the positive eigenvalues of the interior transmission problem when the latter is elliptic. In particular, these bounds justify the existence of an infinite set of interior transmission eigenvalues and provide asymptotic estimates from above on the counting function for the large values of the wave number. They also lead to certain imp...
