We examine an inverse backscattering property of wave motion imposed by an obstacle. We show that if the wave propagator decays super-exponentially along the back-scattered geodesics, then the involved scatterer must be trivial. In…
The characterization problem of the existence of an unknown obstacle behind a known obstacle is considered by using a singe observed wave at a place where the wave is generated. The unknown obstacle is invisible from the place by using…
