In this paper, the interior elastic direct and inverse scattering problem of time-harmonic waves for a non-penetrable partially coated obstacle placed in a homogeneous and isotropic medium is studied. The scattering problem is formulated via the Navier equation, considering incident circular waves due to point-source fields, where the corresponding scattered data are measured on a closed curve inside the obstacle. Our model, from the mathematical point of view, is described by a mixed boundary value problem in which the scattered field satisfies mixed Dirichlet-Robin boundary conditions on the Lipschitz boundary of the obstacle. Using a variational equation method in an appropriate Sobolev space setting, uniqueness and existence results as well as stability ones are established. The corresponding inverse problem is also studied, and using some specific auxiliary integral operators an appropriate modified factorisation method is given. In addition, an inversion algorithm for shape recovering of the partially coated obstacle is presented and proved. Last but not least, useful remarks and conclusions concerning the direct scattering problem and its linchpin with the corresponding inverse one are given.

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.

SynopsisWe consider the scattering of time harmonic electromagnetic waves by an inhomogeneous medium of compact support, i.e. the permittivity ε = ε(x) and the conductivity σ = σ(x) are functions of x ∊ ℝ3. Existence, uniqueness and regularity results are established for the direct scattering problem. Then, based on existence and uniqueness results for the exterior and interior impedance boundary value problem, a method is presented for solving the inverse scattering problem.

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.

A microwave imaging method previously developed for tomographic inspection of dielectric targets is extended to three-dimensional objects. The approach is based on the full vector equations of the electromagnetic inverse scattering problem. The ill-posedness of the problem is faced by the application of an inexact-Newton method. Preliminary reconstruction results are reported.

The inverse scattering problem we consider is to determine the surface impedance of a three-dimensional obstacle of known shape from a knowledge of the far-field patterns of the scattered fields corresponding to many incident time-harmonic plane acoustic waves. We solve this problem by using both the methods of Kirsch-Kress and Colton-Monk.

We consider the inverse-scattering problem of determining the shape of a partly coated obstacle in R3 from a knowledge of the incident time-harmonic electromagnetic plane wave and the electric far-field pattern of the scattered wave. A justification is given of the linear sampling method in this case and numerical examples are provided showing the practicality of our method.
