Abstract

A multilayered particle is illuminated by plane acoustic or electromagnetic waves of one or several frequencies. We consider the inverse scattering problem for the identification of the layers and of the refraction coefficients of the scatterer in a non-Born region of scattering. Local deterministic and global probabilistic minimization methods are studied. A special Reduction Procedure is introduced to reduce the dimensionality of the minimization space. Deep's and the Multilevel Single-Linkage methods for global minimization are used for the solution of the inverse problem. Their performance is analyzed for various multilayer configurations.
