The author studies the inverse scattering problem for a boundary value problem of a generalized one dimensional Schrödinger type with a discontinuous coefficient and eigenparameter dependent boundary condition. The solutions of the considered eigenvalue equation is presented and its scattering function that satisfies some properties is induced. The discrete spectrum is studied and the resolvent...

Abstract—In this paper, the diagnosis of soft faults in lossy electric transmission lines is studied through the inverse scattering approach. The considered soft faults are modeled as continuous spatial variations of distributed characteristic parameters of transmission lines. The diagnosis of such faults from reflection and transmission coefficients measured at the ends of a line can be formul...

In this paper, we consider the numerical approximation of Steklov eigenvalue problem that arises in inverse acoustic scattering. The underlying scattering is for an inhomogeneous isotropic medium. These eigenvalues have been proposed to be used as a target signature since they can recovered from data. A Galerkin method studied where basis functions are Neumann eigenfunctions Laplacian. Error es...

When solving the inverse scattering problem for a discrete Sturm–Liouville operator with a rapidly decreasing potential, one gets reflection coefficients s± and invertible operators I +Hs± , where Hs± is the Hankel operator related to the symbol s±. The Marchenko–Faddeev theorem [8] (in the continuous case, for the discrete case see [4, 6]), guarantees the uniqueness of the solution of the inve...

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 consider the inverse electromagnetic scattering problem for perfectly conducting screens. We solve this problem by modifying the linear sampling method formulated in [3] for the case of scattering obstacles with nonempty interior. Numerical examples are given for screens in R.

We consider the inverse electromagnetic scattering problem of determining the shape of a perfectly conducting cavity from measurement of scattered electric field due to electric dipole sources on a surface inside the cavity. We prove a reciprocity relation for the scattered electric field and a uniqueness theorem for the inverse problem. Then the near field linear sampling method is employed to...

We apply a particular form of the inverse scattering theory to turbulent magnetic fluctuations in a plasma. In the present note we develop the theory, formulate the magnetic fluctuation problem in terms of its electrodynamic turbulent response function, and reduce it to the solution of a special form of the famous Gelfand–Levitan–Marchenko equation of quantum mechanical scattering theory. The l...

Inverse scattering problem is discussed for the Maxwell’s equations. A reduction of the Maxwell’s system to a new Fredholm second-kind integral equation with a scalar weakly singular kernel is given for electromagnetic (EM) wave scattering. This equation allows one to derive a formula for the scattering amplitude in which only a scalar function is present. If this function is small (an assumpti...
