Review text

A survey is given of the linear sampling method for solving the inverse scattering problem of determining the support of an inhomogeneous medium from a knowledge of the far field pattern of the scattered field. Although the inverse scattering problem is nonlinear, this is accomplished by solving a linear integral equation of the first kind and does essentially not require a priori knowledge of the physical properties of the scatterer. The analysis will rely heavily on the specal theory of the far field operator \(F\) as well as a study of the range and null space of either \(F\) or \((F^*F)^{1/4}\). An application is given to the problem of detecting leukemia in the human body. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0948.00011].
