We consider the scattering for the operator $H=H_o+V$, where the unperturbed operator $H_o$ is not assumed to be elliptic and the potential $V$ is anisotropic. Under some conditions on $H_o$ and $V$ we show that the wave operators for $H_o,…

In quantum scattering, Hermiticity is necessary for both reciprocity and unitarity. Reciprocity means that both reflectivity (R) and transmitivity (T) are insensitive to the direction of incidence of a wave (particle) at a scatterer from…
