Analytic methods for inverse scattering theory
The author gives a review of recent analytic tools for the study of inverse scattering problems at a fixed energy. The paper is very readable, and it will be very useful to people interested in learning these new analytic methods. The author considers as model problems inverse scattering for time harmonic acoustic waves and the Schrödinger equation. They are briefly described in Section 1. Then, the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function is introduced in Section 2 and the Sobolev spaces are defined. Also, an important characterization of \(W_{1,p}\) due to P. Hajlasz is introduced and the proof is given. In Section 3 a generalization of Agmon's limiting absorption principle for the Laplacian is considered. In Section 4 the Hajlasz characterization is used to give a new proof of the Sylvester-Uhlmann estimate for Faddeev's Green's function. These results are used in Section 5 to prove the classical result that the scattering matrix at a fixed positive energy uniquely determines a potential of compact support. Finally, in Section 6 the author presents a review of his results on the determination of the singularities of the potential from the Born approximation to the scattering amplitude. As the prerequisites to read this paper are basic knowledge of real analysis, Fourier transform and distribution theory, it is accessible to graduate students.
