INVERSE SCATTERING PROBLEMS BY SINGULAR SOURCE METHODS

The inverse scattering problems are to detect the property of obstacles from the measurements outside the obstacles. One of important research areas in this topic is the recovery of boundary property for impenetrable obstacles. In this paper, we would like to give a brief review about the recently developed singular source methods. There are three different methods in this category, namely, linear sampling method, pointsource method and probe method. We also present some recent new results about the probe method.

A NEW APPROACH AND ERROR ANALYSIS FOR RECONSTRUCTING THE SCATTERED WAVE BY THE POINT SOURCE METHOD

Consider an inverse scattering problem by an obstacle D belong to R^2 with impedance boundary. We investigate the reconstruction of the scattered field u^s from its far field pattern u^∞ using the point source method. First, by applying the boundary integral equation method, we provide a new approach to the point-source method of Potthast by classical potential theory. This extends the range of the point source method from plane waves to scattering of arbitrary waves. Second, by analyzing the behavior of the Hankel function, we obtain an improved strategy for the choice of the regularizing parameter from which an improved convergence rate （compared to the result of [15]） is achieved for the reconstruc- tion of the scattered wave. Third, numerical implementations are given to test the validity and stability of the inversion method for the impedance obstacle.     

INVERSE MEDIUM SCATTERING PROBLEMS IN NEAR-FIELD OPTICS

A regularized recursive linearization method is developed for a two-dimensional in-verse medium scattering problem that arises in near-field optics, which reconstructs the scatterer of an inhomogeneous medium deposited on a homogeneous substrate from data accessible through photon scanning tunneling microscopy experiments. In addition to the ill-posedness of the inverse scattering problems, two difficulties arise from the layered back-ground medium and limited aperture data. Based on multiple frequency scattering data, the method starts from the Born approximation corresponding to the weak scattering at a low frequency, each update is obtained via recursive linearization with respect to the wavenumber by solving one forward problem and one adjoint problem of the Helmholtz equation. Numerical experiments are included to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed method.     

ON BLOCK MATRICES ASSOCIATED WITH DISCRETE TRIGONOMETRIC TRANSFORMS AND THEIR USE IN THE THEORY OF WAVE PROPAGATION

Block matrices associated with discrete Trigonometric transforms （DTT＇s） arise in the mathematical modelling of several applications of wave propagation theory including discretizations of scatterers and radiators with the Method of Moments, the Boundary Element Method, and the Method of Auxiliary Sources. The DTT＇s are represented by the Fourier, Hartley, Cosine, and Sine matrices, which are unitary and offer simultaneous diagonalizations of specific matrix algebras. The main tool for the investigation of the aforementioned wave applications is the efficient inversion of such types of block matrices. To this direction, in this paper we develop an efficient algorithm for the inversion of matrices with U-diagonalizable blocks （U a fixed unitary matrix） by utilizing the U- diagonalization of each block and subsequently a similarity transformation procedure. We determine the developed method＇s computational complexity and point out its high efficiency compared to standard inversion techniques. An implementation of the algorithm in Matlab is given. Several numerical results are presented demonstrating the CPU-time efficiency and accuracy for ill-conditioned matrices of the method. The investigated matrices stem from real-world wave propagation applications.     

ON ENERGY CONSERVATION BY TRIGONOMETRIC INTEGRATORS IN THE LINEAR CASE WITH APPLICATION TO WAVE EQUATIONS

Trigonometric integrators for oscillatory linear Hamiltonian differential equations are considered. Under a condition of Hairer & Lubich on the filter functions in the method, a modified energy is derived that is exactly preserved by trigonometric integrators. This implies and extends a known result on all-time near-conservation of energy. The extension can be applied to linear wave equations.
