We propose to use transformation optics to generate a general illusion such that an arbitrary object appears to be like some other object of our choice. This is achieved by using a remote device that transforms the scattered light outside a…
We study the Riemannian distance function from a fixed point (a point-wise target) of Euclidean space in the presence of a compact obstacle bounded by a smooth hypersurface. First, we show that such a function is locally semiconcave with a…
It is proved that if the scattering amplitudes at a fixed wavenumber for two obstacles from a certain large class of obstacles differ a little, than the obstacles differ a little. Error estimate is given. It is proved that there is an…
An inverse obstacle problem for the wave governed by the wave equation in a two layered medium is considered under the framework of the time domain enclosure method. The wave is generated by an initial data supported on a closed ball in the…
Designing invisible objects without the usage of extreme materials is a long-sought goal for photonic applications. Invisibility techniques demonstrated so far typically require high anisotropy, gain and losses, while also not being…
Partial polarization is the manifestation of the correlation between two mutually orthogonal transverse field components associated with a light beam. We show both theoretically and experimentally that the origin of this correlation can be…
An approach for shielding an unwanted wave with a fixed frequency by generating a suitably controlled nontrivial wave with the same frequency is suggested. Unlike the well known surface potential approach, the source of the controlled wave…
We prove optimal regularity and a detailed analysis of the free boundary of the solutions to the thin obstacle problem for nonparametric minimal surfaces with flat obstacles.
The focus of this paper is on a thin obstacle problem where the obstacle is defined on the intersection between a hyper-plane $\Gamma$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and a periodic perforation $\mathcal{T}_\varepsilon$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$, depending on a…
We establish H\"older stability of an inverse hyperbolic obstacle problem. Mainly, we study the problem of reconstructing an unknown function defined on the boundary of the obstacle from two measurements taken on the boundary of a domain…
This paper solves the problem of station-keeping control of a surface vessel under conditions of sinusoidal disturbances with unknown parameters. The proposed control algorithm is based on the geometric approach with the use of the adaptive…
Exact solutions describing trapped modes in a plane quantum waveguide with a small rigid obstacle are constructed in the form of convergent series in powers of the small parameter characterizing the smallness of the obstacle. The terms of…
A kind of transformation media, which we shall call the "anti-cloak", is proposed to partially defeat the cloaking effect of the invisibility cloak. An object with an outer shell of "anti-cloak" is visible to the outside if it is coated…
The scalar scattering of a plane wave by a smooth obstacle with impedance boundary conditions is considered. Upper bounds for the Total Cross Section and for the absorbed power are presented.
The coupled motion is investigated for a mechanical system consisting of water and a body freely floating in it. Water occupies either a half-space or a layer of constant depth into which an infinitely long surface-piercing cylinder is…
A novel method to solve inverse problems for the wave equation is introduced. The method is a combination of the boundary control method and an iterative time reversal scheme, leading to adaptive imaging of coefficient functions of the wave…
Diffraction limits the behaviour of light in optical systems and sets the smallest achievable line width at half the wavelength. With a novel subwavelength plasmonic lens to reduce the diffraction via an asymmetry and to generate and…
We are interested in a time harmonic acoustic problem in a waveguide containing flies. The flies are modelled by small sound soft obstacles. We explain how they should arrange to become invisible to an observer sending waves from $-\infty$…
The purpose of this note is to give a self contained description of Walls finiteness obstruction.
Waves impart momentum and exert force on obstacles in their path. The transfer of wave momentum is a fundamental mechanism for contactless manipulation, yet the rules of conventional scattering intrinsically limit the radiation force based…
