The Detection of Hostile Structures

Abstract

This grant was concerned with the development of the linear sampling method to determine the location and shape of hostile structures hidden in a known background medium from measured electromagnetic scattering data. The research included the numerical investigation of the ultra-weak variational formulation for Maxwell's equations and the solution of the inverse scattering problem for partially coated obstacles. Since it has previously been shown that the scattering due to the background can be subtracted off in a rigorous manner, for theoretical purposes it suffices to consider these problems for obstacles in a homogeneous background medium.
