Reconstruction of interfaces from the elastic farfield measurements using CGO solutions

In this work, we are concerned with the inverse scattering by interfaces for the linearized and isotropic elastic model at a fixed frequency. First, we derive complex geometrical optic solutions with linear or spherical phases having a computable dominant part and an $H^\alpha$-decaying remainder term with $\alpha <3$, where $H^{\alpha}$ is the classical Sobolev space. Second, based on these properties, we estimate the convex hull as well as non convex parts of the interface using the farfields of only one of the two reflected body waves (pressure waves or shear waves) as measurements. The results are given for both the impenetrable obstacles, with traction boundary conditions, and the penetrable obstacles. In the analysis, we require the surfaces of the obstacles to be Lipschitz regular and, for the penetrable obstacles, the Lam\'e coefficients to be measurable and bounded with the usual jump conditions across the interface.Comment: 32 page

Stable determination of a scattered wave from its far-field pattern: the high frequency asymptotics

We deal with the stability issue for the determination of outgoing time-harmonic acoustic waves from their far-field patterns. We are especially interested in keeping as explicit as possible the dependence of our stability estimates on the wavenumber of the corresponding Helmholtz equation and in understanding the high wavenumber, that is frequency, asymptotics. Applications include stability results for the determination from far-field data of solutions of direct scattering problems with sound-soft obstacles and an instability analysis for the corresponding inverse obstacle problem. The key tool consists of establishing precise estimates on the behavior of Hankel functions with large argument or order.Comment: 49 page

On the one dimensional Gelfand and Borg-Levinson spectral problems for discontinuous coefficients

In this paper, we deal with the inverse spectral problem for the equation -(pu')'+qu = \lambda\rho u on a finite interval (0; h). We give some uniqueness results on q and \rho from the Gelfand spectral data, when the coefficients p and \rho are piecewise Lipschitz and q is bounded. We also prove an equivalence result between the Gelfand spectral data and the Borg-Levinson spectral data. As a consequence, we have similar uniqueness results if we consider the Borg-Levinson spectral data. Finally, we consider the inverse problem from the nodes and give uniqueness results on \rho and in the case where the coefficients p; q and \rho are smooth we give a uniqueness results on both q and \rho
