Inverse wave scattering in the Laplace domain: a factorization method approach

Abstract: Let

D e l t a_{L a m b d a} l e l a m b d a_{L a m b d a}

be a semi-bounded self-adjoint realization of the Laplace operator with boundary conditions (Dirichlet, Neumann, semi-transparent) assigned on the Lipschitz boundary of a bounded obstacle

O m e g a

. Let

u_{f}^{L a m b d a}

and

u_{f}^{0}

denote the solutions of the wave equations corresponding to

D e l t a_{L a m b d a}

and to the free Laplacian

D e l t a

respectively, with a source term

f

concentrated at time

t = 0

(a pulse). We show that for any fixed

l a m b d a > l a m b d a_{L a m b d a} g e 0

and any fixed

, the obstacle

O m e g a

can be reconstructed by the data

F^{Lambda}_{lambda}f(x):=int_{0}^{infty}e^{-sqrtlambda,t}�ig(u^{Lambda}_{f}(t,x)-u^{0}_{f}(t,x)�ig),dt,,qquad xin B,, fin L^{2}({mathbb R}^{n}),, mbox{supp}(f)subset B,.

A similar result holds in the case of screens reconstruction, when the boundary conditions are assigned only on a part of the boundary. Our method exploits the factorized form of the resolvent difference

(- D e l t a_{L a m b d a} + l a m b d a)^{- 1} - (- D e l t a + l a m b d a)^{- 1}

.
