Scattering hinders the passage of light through random media and consequently limits the usefulness of optical techniques for sensing and imaging. Thus, methods for increasing the transmission of light through such random media are of…
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].…
