An inverse problem of finding an obstacle and the boundary condition on its surface from the fixed-energy scattering data is studied. A new method is developed for a proof of the uniqueness results. The method does not use the discreteness…

Optics related to non-Euclidean geometry has been attracting growing interest for emerged novel phenomena and the analog for general relativity, while most studies are limited to the free space on rotationally-symmetric surfaces. In this…

In this paper, we study the problem of scattering by several strictly convex obstacles, with smooth boundary and satisfying a non eclipse condition. We show, in dimension 2 only, the existence of a spectral gap for the meromorphic…

A mathematical method for through-wall imaging via wave phenomena in the time domain is introduced. The method makes use of a single reflected wave over a finite time interval and gives us a criterion whether a penetrable obstacle exists or…

This paper concerns the inverse spectral problem for analytic simple surfaces of revolution. By `simple' is meant that there is precisely one critical distance from the axis of revolution. Such surfaces have completely integrable geodesic…

We consider the inverse source problem of a fixed wavenumber: study properties of an acoustic source based on a single far- or near-field measurement. We show that nonradiating sources having a convex or non-convex corner or edge on their…
