Stable determination of an elastic medium scatterer by a single far-field measurement and beyond (Q2153932)

The authors consider a uniformly homogeneous isotropic medium which contains an inhomogeneous elastic material inclusion and study the corresponding time-harmonic elastic scattering. They also analyse the associated nonlinear inverse problem of obtaining the support of the inhomogeneous scattering object from the far-field pattern. To this end, a logarithmic stability estimate is derived for the case of a convex polyhedral scatterer. Another stability result is presented for a general medium scatterer which possesses a corner. This last result implies that invisibility phenomenon cannot occur.
