Abstract: The Rayleigh conjecture on the representation of the scattered field in the exterior of an obstacle $D$ is widely used in applications. However this conjecture is false for some obstacles. AGR introduced the Modified Rayleigh Conjecture (MRC), and in this paper we present successful numerical algorithms based on the MRC for various 2D and 3D obstacle scattering problems. The 3D obstacles include a cube and an ellipsoid. The MRC method is easy to implement for both simple and complex geometries. It is shown to be a viable alternative for other obstacle scattering methods.

Review text

The paper presents a numerical method for solving direct obstacle problem which is based on the modified Rayleigh conjecture. The basic theoretical foundation of the method was developed by one of the authors, see [\textit{A. G. Ramm}, J. Phys. A., Math. Gen. 35, L357--L361 (2002; Zbl 1039.35072)]. The presented numerical implementation of the method makes use of points randomly chosen inside the obstacle and aims at minimizing the descrepancy on the boundary of the obstacle. If the residual exceeds the prescribed tolerance, then the method continues with iterations making use of a new set of randomly chosen interior points. The method is numerically tested on a number of two- and three-dimensional obstacles including the ones with edges and corners.
