A Fast, Bandlimited Solver for Scattering Problems in Inhomogeneous Media

The numerical treatment of two-dimensional scattering in inhomogeneous media is considered. A novel approach in treating convolution operators with low regularity is used to construct an iterative solver for the Lippmann-Schwinger integral equation. In this way, accurate approximations within a choice of bandwidth can be obtained in a rapid manner. The performance of the method is tested on a discontinuous scattering object for which the exact solution is known.
