Inverse scattering using finite elements and gap reciprocity

From MaRDI portal





In this paper we consider the inverse scattering problem of determining the shape of one or more objects embedded in an inhomogeneous background from Cauchy data measured on the boundary of a domain containing the objects in its interior. Following [\textit{D. Colton} and \textit{H. Haddar}, Inverse Probl. 21, No. 1, 383--398 (2005; Zbl 1086.35129)], we use the reciprocity gap functional method. In an inhomogeneous background medium the use of a Herglotz wave function in the reciprocity gap functional is no longer permitted. Instead we propose to use a finite element representation. We provide analysis to support the method, and also describe implementation issues. Numerical examples are given showing the performance of the method.
