Marching schemes for inverse scattering problems in waveguides with curved boundaries (Q2406306)

The paper is devoted to the analysis of inverse scattering problems for the Helmholtz equation in waveguides with curved boundaries or interfaces. After using a local orthogonal transform to flatten the waveguide and obtain a new Helmholtz system, the authors propose a numerical marching scheme for this second Helmholtz system. The marching scheme is regularized by using a spectral projector based on the truncated local propagating eigenfunction expansion. Numerical comparisons are performed and discussed (e.g., when considering the Fourier marching method and the spectral projector marching method).
