Abstract

Let fL2(S2)f\in L^2(S^2) be an arbitrary fixed function with small norm on the unit sphere S2S^2, and DR3D\subset \R^3 be an arbitrary fixed bounded domain. Let k>0k>0 and αS2\alpha\in S^2 be fixed. It is proved that there exists a potential qL2(D)q\in L^2(D) such that the corresponding scattering amplitude A(α)=Aq(α)=Aq(α,α,k)A(\alpha')=A_q(\alpha')=A_q(\alpha',\alpha,k) approximates f(α)f(\alpha') with arbitrary high accuracy: f(α)Aq(α)L2(S2)\ve\|f(\alpha')-A_q(\alpha')_{L^2(S^2)}\|\leq\ve where \ve>0\ve>0 is an arbitrarily small fixed number. This means that the set {Aq(α)}qL2(D)\{A_q(\alpha')\}_{\forall q\in L^2(D)} is complete in L2(S2)L^2(S^2). The results can be used for constructing nanotechnologically "smart materials".
