This paper is concerned with the scattering problem of time-harmonic acoustic plane waves by an impenetrable obstacle buried in a piecewise homogeneous medium. The so-called generalized impedance boundary condition is imposed on the boundary of the obstacle. Firstly, the well posedness of the solution to the direct scattering problem is established by using the boundary integral method. Then a uniqueness result for the inverse scattering problem is proved; that is, both of the obstacle’s shape and the impedances (μ,λ) can be uniquely determined from far field measurements. Furthermore, a mathematical basis is given to reconstruct the shape of the obstacle by using a modified linear sampling method.

AbstractWe first examine the class of far field patterns for the scalar Helmholtz equation in ℝ2 corresponding to incident time harmonic plane waves subject to an impedance boundary condition where the impedance is piecewise constant with respect to the incident direction and continuous with respect to x ε ∂ D where ∂ D is the scattering obstacle. We then examine the class of far field patterns for Maxwell's equations in subject to an impedance boundary condition with constant impedance. The results obtained are used to derive optimization algorithms for solving the inverse scattering problem.
