In this paper we present a hybrid approach to numerically solve two-dimensional electromagnetic inverse scattering problems, whereby the unknown scatterer is hosted by a possibly inhomogeneous background. The approach is `hybrid' in that it…
The Phase Retrieval problem is dealt with for the challenging case where just a single set of (phaseless) radiated field data is available. In particular, even still emulating the solution of crosswords puzzles, we provide decisive…
Let $c$ be a piecewise smooth wave speed on $\mathbb R^n$, unknown inside a domain $\Omega$. We are given the solution operator for the scalar wave equation $(\partial_t^2-c^2\Delta)u=0$, but only outside $\Omega$ and only for initial data…

This paper focuses on phase retrieval from phaseless total-field data in biharmonic scattering problems. We prove that a phased biharmonic wave can be uniquely determined by the modulus of the total biharmonic wave within a nonempty domain.…
In three dimensional scattering, the energy continuum wavefunction is obtained by utilizing two independent solutions of the reference wave equation. One of them is typically singular (usually, near the origin of configuration space). Both…
