Abstract: We provide a general scheme, in the combined frameworks of Mathematical Scattering Theory and Factorization Method, for inverse scattering for the couple of self-adjoint operators $(widetildeDelta,Delta)$, where $Delta$ is the free Laplacian in $L^2({mathbbR}^3)$ and $widetildeDelta$ is one of its singular perturbations, i.e., such that the set $uin{H}^2({mathbbR}^3)capextdom(widetildeDelta),:,Deltau=widetildeDeltau$ is dense. Typically $widetildeDelta$ corresponds to a self-adjoint realization of the Laplace operator with some kind of boundary conditions imposed on a null subset; in particular our results apply to standard, either separating or semi-transparent, boundary conditions at $Gamma=partialOmega$, where $Omegasubset{mathbbR}^3$ is a bounded Lipschitz domain. Similar results hold in the case the boundary conditions are assigned only on $SigmasubsetGamma$, a relatively open subset with a Lipschitz boundary. We show that either $Gamma$ or $Sigma$ are determined by the knowledge of the Scattering Matrix, equivalently of the Far Field Operator, at a single frequency.
