Analysis of Some Qualitative Methods for Inverse Electromagnetic Scattering Problems
Résumé
This chapter provides a comprehensive presentation of some qualitative methods associated with inverse 3D electromagnetic scattering problem from inhomogeneous and anisotropic media. We first discuss the problem in the framework of so-called Born approximation, that leads to a linearisation of the inverse problem. We second present and analyze the application of the Linear Sampling Method to the full non linear problem using multistatic data at a given frequency. We especially focus on a generalization of this method based on an exact characterization of the inclusion shape in terms of the available data. We then discuss the closely related interior transmission problem and associated transmission eigenvalues. We complement each chapter with some open challenging questions as well as references for further readings.
