In conventional acoustic scattering theory, a large-distance asymptotic approximation is employed. In this approximation, a far-field pattern, an asymptotic approximation of the exact result, is used to describe a scattering process. The…
The formalism to describe the scattering of a weakly bound projectile nucleus by a heavy target is investigated, using the Uncorrelated Scattering Approximation. The main assumption involved is to neglect the correlation between the…
We introduce a nonperturbative approximation scheme for performing scattering calculations in two dimensions that involves neglecting the contribution of the evanescent waves to the scattering amplitude. This corresponds to replacing the…

We numerically compute eigenvalues of the non-self-adjoint Zakharov--Shabat problem in the semiclassical regime. In particular, we compute the eigenvalues for a Gaussian potential and compare the results to the corresponding (formal) WKB…
The classical WKB method (also known as the WKBJ method, the LG method, or the phase integral method) for solving singularly perturbed linear differential equations has never, as far as we know, been looked at from the structured backward…
A set of simple exactly solvable potentials are shown to have convergent WKB series. The resulting all-orders quantisation conditions provide a unified description of all known cases where an exact WKB quantisation condition has been…
Regarding the limit hbar-->0 as the classical limit of quantum mechanics seems to be silly because hbar is a definite constant of physics, but it was successfully used in the derivation of the WKB approximation. A superseded version of the…
We apply a multichannel variable phase method to scattering from Regge-Wheeler potentials. Using a reduced version of the WKB subtraction developed by Candelas and Howard, this approach allows for efficient numerical calculations of…
We present a linear coordinate transform to expand the solution of scattering and emission problems into a basis of forward and backward directional vector harmonics. The transform provides intuitive algebraic and geometric interpretations…
The two-body Coulomb scattering problem is solved using the standard complex scaling method. The explicit enforcement of the scattering boundary condition is avoided. Splitting of the scattering wave function based on the Coulomb modified…
In a Bayesian setting, inverse problems and uncertainty quantification (UQ) --- the propagation of uncertainty through a computational (forward) model --- are strongly connected. In the form of conditional expectation the Bayesian update…
The supersymmetric-WKB series is shown to be such that the SWKB quantisation condition has corrections in powers of h^2 only and with explicit overall factors of E. The results also suggest more efficient methods of calculating the…
We consider a novel way of discretizing wave scattering problems using the general formalism of convolution quadrature, but instead of reducing the timestep size ($h$-method), we achieve accuracy by increasing the order of the method…
Optical diffraction tomography relies on solving an inverse scattering problem governed by the wave equation. Classical reconstruction algorithms are based on linear approximations of the forward model (Born or Rytov), which limits their…
We show the relationship between the strongly non-linear limit (also termed the dispersionless or the Whitham limit) of the macroscopic fluctuation theory of certain statistical models and the inverse scattering method. We show that in the…
The Bogoliubov transformation in cosmological particle production can be explained by the Stokes phenomena of the corresponding ordinary differential equation. The calculation becomes very simple as far as the solution is described by a…
In these lectures I give an introduction to the time-dependent approach to inverse scattering, that has been developed recently. The aim of this approach is to solve various inverse scattering problems with time-dependent methods that…
We propose a new approximate series solution of the semiclassical Wigner equation by uniformization of WKB approximations of the Schr\"odinger eigenfunctions.
Scattering of time-harmonic plane wave by two parallel semi-infinite rows, but with staggered edges, is considered on square lattice. The condition imposed on the semi-infinite rows is a discrete analogue of Neumann boundary condition. A…
