Inverse Scattering for the Laplace operator with boundary conditions on Lipschitz surfaces

preprint2019arXivOpen access

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 (Δ~,Δ)(\widetildeΔ,Δ), where ΔΔ is the free Laplacian in L2(R3)L^{2}({\mathbb R}^{3}) and Δ~\widetildeΔ is one of its singular perturbations, i.e., such that the set {u∈H2(R3)∩dom(Δ~) : Δu=Δ~u}\{u\in H^{2}({\mathbb R}^{3})\cap \text{dom}(\widetildeΔ)\, :\, Δu=\widetildeΔu\} is dense. Typically Δ~\widetildeΔ 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 Γ=∂ΩΓ=\partialΩ, where Ω⊂R3Ω\subset{\mathbb R}^{3} is a bounded Lipschitz domain. Similar results hold in the case the boundary conditions are assigned only on Σ⊂ΓΣ\subsetΓ, a relatively open subset with a Lipschitz boundary. We show that either ΓΓ or ΣΣ are determined by the knowledge of the Scattering Matrix, equivalently of the Far Field Operator, at a single frequency.
