We study time harmonic scattering problems in linear elasticity in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$. We show that certain penetrable scatterers with rectangular corners scatter every incident wave nontrivially. Even though these scatterers have interior…
We investigate fixed energy scattering from conical potentials having an irregular cross-section. The incident wave can be any arbitrary non-trivial Herglotz wave. We show that a large number of such local conical scatterers scatter all…
We consider the scattering problem governed by the Helmholtz equation with inhomogeneity in both `conductivity' in the divergence form and `potential' in the lower order term. The support of the inhomogeneity is assumed to contain a convex…
This article is concerned with the time-harmonic electromagnetic (EM) scattering from a generic inhomogeneous medium. It is shown that if there is a right corner on the support of the medium, then it scatters every pair of incident EM…

We investigate a time harmonic acoustic scattering problem by a penetrable inclusion with compact support embedded in the free space. We consider cases where an observer can produce incident plane waves and measure the far field pattern of…
Assume that a bounded scatterer is embedded into an infinite homogeneous isotropic background medium in two dimensions. The refractive index function is supposed to be piecewise constant. If the scattering interface contains a weakly or…
We study the scattering behavior of an anisotropic inhomogeneous Lipschitz medium at a fixed wave number, continuing our previous work [SIAM J. Math. Anal., 56(4):4834-4853, 2024] and using free boundary techniques from [arXiv:2506.22328].…
We study scattering for the linear Helmholtz operator in two dimensions and develop a technique, which can be used to ascertain scattering of a given incident wave from very regular inhomogeneities. This technique is then applied to a…

It is proved that an inhomogeneous medium whose boundary contains a weakly singular point of arbitrary order scatters every incoming wave. Similarly, a compactly supported source term with weakly singular points on the boundary always…
