Abstract This paper is concerned with the inverse scattering problem of time-harmonic elastic waves by a mixed-type scatterer, which is given as the union of an impenetrable obstacle and a crack. We develop the modified factorization method to determine the shape of the mixed-type scatterer from the far field data. However, the factorization of the far field operator $F$ is related to the boundary integral matrix operator $A$, which is obtained in the study of the direct scattering problem. So, in the first part, we show the well posedness of the direct scattering problem by the boundary integral equation method. Some numerical examples are presented at the end of the paper to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the inverse algorithm.

AbstractWe introduce numerical algorithms for solving the inverse and direct scattering problems for the Manakov model of vector nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We have found an algebraic group of 4-block matrices with off-diagonal blocks consisting of special vector-like matrices for generalizing the scalar problem’s efficient numerical algorithms to the vector case. The inversion of block matrices of the discretized system of Gelfand–Levitan–Marchenko integral equations solves the inverse scattering problem using the vector variant the Toeplitz Inner Bordering algorithm of Levinson’s type. The reversal of steps of the inverse problem algorithm gives the solution of the direct scattering problem. Numerical tests confirm the proposed vector algorithms’ efficiency and stability. We also present an example of the algorithms’ application to simulate the Manakov vector solitons’ collision.
