The method of fundamental solutions for inverse obstacle acoustic scattering
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose a simple method for detecting (shape, size and location) a scatterer embedded in a host acoustic homogeneous medium from scant measurements of the scattered acoustic pressure in the vicinity (near-or far-field) of the obstacle. We develop a nonlinear constrained minimization regularized method of fundamental solutions for obtaining the numerical solution of the inverse problem. The stability of the numerical scheme is investigated by inverting measurements contaminated with noise.

A Point-source Method for Inverse Acoustic and Electromagnetic Obstacle Scattering Problems
We present the mathematical foundation for a point-source method to solve some inverse acoustic and electromagnetic obstacle scattering problems in three dimensions. We investigate the inverse acoustic scattering problem by a sound-soft and a sound-hard scatterer and the inverse electromagnetic scattering problem by a perfect conductor. Two independent approaches to the method are presented whi...
متن کاملScattering by Obstacles in Acoustic Waveguides
We study the scattering of acoustic waves by an obstacle embedded in a uniform waveguide with planar boundaries, which is a fundamental model in shallow ocean acoustics. Under certain geometric assumptions on the shape of the obstacle, we prove a Rellichtype uniqueness theorem in the case of soft obstacles. The solvability of the scattering problem is proved via boundary integral equations and ...
متن کاملInverse Acoustic and Electromagnetic Scattering Theory
This paper is a survey of the inverse scattering problem for time-harmonic acoustic and electromagnetic waves at fixed frequency. We begin by a discussion of “weak scattering” and Newton-type methods for solving the inverse scattering problem for acoustic waves, including a brief discussion of Tikhonov’s method for the numerical solution of ill-posed problems. We then proceed to prove a uniquen...

We present a point-source method to solve inverse acoustic obstacle scattering problems. The point-source method gives a new and explicit procedure how to compute from the far eld pattern u 1 of a scattered eld an approximation for the total acoustic eld u near the unknown obstacle. The point-source method then searches for the boundary of the obstacle as a zero-curve of u or @u @ , respectivel...
متن کاملA Regularized Newton Method for the Solution of Inverse Obstacle Elasto-acoustic Scattering Problems
We are interested in the determination of the shape of an elastic obstacle from its effects on known incident acoustic waves. We propose a solution methodology based on a regularized Newton-type method to solve this inverse obstacle problem. At each Newton iteration, we solve the forward problems using a finite element solver based on discontinuous Galerkin approximations, and equipped with hig...
