Numerical approximation of the potential in the two-dimesional inverse scattering problem

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We present an iterative algorithm to compute numerical approximations of the potential for the Schr"odinger operator from scattering data. Four different types of scattering data are used as follows: fixed energy, fixed incident angle, backscattering and full data. In the case of fixed energy, the algorithm coincides basically with the one recently introduced by Novikov in [Novikov, R. G., "An iterative approach to non-overdetermined inverse scattering at fixed energy", Sbornik: Mathematics 206 (1), 120-134 (2015)], where some estimates are obtained for large energy scattering data. The numerical results that we present here are consistent with these estimates.


The paper studies the inverse scattering problem of recovering the potential from the knowledge of the far field pattern for the two-dimensional Helmholtz equations. A fixed point iterative algorithm based on the Lippmann-Schwinger equation and the definition of the far field pattern is proposed. Various issues concerning the implementation of the iterative algorithm are considered. Some numerical experiments are reported.
