Inverse Acoustic Obstacle Scattering D : impenetrable scatterer Acoustic EM
Underlying Equations • Propagation of acoustic wave in homogeneous isotropic medium / fluid : pressurep(x, t)of the medium satisfies • Consider the time-harmonic waves of the form then u(x) satisfies the Helmholtz equation with
Direct Acoustic Obstacle Scattering • Take the planar incident field then the total field solves the Helmholtz equation : • satisfies the Sommerfeld radiation condition:
Physical Properties of Scatterers Recall Sound-soft : (pressure vanishes) Sound-hard : (normal velocity of wave vanishes) Impedance : (normal velocity proport. to pressure) or mixed type
Our Concern : Identifiability Q : How much far field data from how many incident planar fields can uniquely determine a scatterer ? This is a long-standing problem !
Existing Uniqueness Results A general sound-soft obstacle is uniquely determined by the far field data from :
For polyhedral type scatterers : Breakthroughs on identifiability for both inverse acoustic & EM scattering
Existing Results on Identifiability • Cheng-Yamamoto 03 : • A single sound-hard polygonal scatterer is • uniquely determined by at most 2 incident fields • Elschner-Yamamoto 06 : A single sound-hard polygon is uniquely determined byone incident field • Alessandrini - Rondi 05 : • very general sound-soft polyhedral scatterers • in R^n by one incident field
Uniqueness still remains unknown in the following cases for polyhedral type scatterers : sound-hard (N=2: single D; N>2: none), impedance scatterers; when the scatterers admits the simultaneous presence of both solid & crack-type obstacle components; when the scatterers involve mixed types of obstacle components, e.g., some are sound-soft, and some are sound-hard or impedance type; When number of total obstacle components are unknown a priori, and physical properties of obstacle components are unknown a priori . A unified proof to principally answer all these questions.
