Uniqueness of the Inverse Transmission Scattering with a Conductive Boundary Condition

摘要

This paper considers the inverse acoustic wave scattering by a bounded penetrable obstacle with a conductive boundary condition. We will show that the penetrable scatterer can be uniquely determined by its far-field pattern of the scattered field for all incident plane waves at a fixed wave number. In the first part of this paper, adequate preparations for the main uniqueness result are made. We establish the mixed reciprocity relation between the far-field pattern corresponding to point sources and the scattered field corresponding to plane waves. Then the well-posedness of a modified interior transmission problem is deeply investigated by the variational method. Finally, the a priori estimates of solutions to the general transmission problem with boundary data in L-p ( partial differential omega) (1 < p < 2) are proven by the boundary integral equation method. In the second part of this paper, we give a novel proof on the uniqueness of the inverse conductive scattering problem.
