Inverse Scattering Theory for Time-Harmonic Waves

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering ((LNCSE,volume 31))

Abstract

First, we will briefly recall the physical models for the (linearised) acoustic and electromagnetic wave propagation and how they reduce to boundary value problems for the Helmholtz equation. For more details we refer to, e.g. [17, 18, 25, 50].
