The inverse scattering problem is central to many areas of science and
technology such as radar, sonar, medical imaging, geophysical
exploration and nondestructive testing. This book is devoted to the
mathematical and numerical analysis of the inverse scattering problem
for acoustic and electromagnetic waves.
In this fourth edition, a number of significant additions have been made
including a new chapter on transmission eigenvalues and a new section on
the impedance boundary condition where particular attention has been
made to the generalized impedance boundary condition and to nonlocal
impedance boundary conditions. Brief discussions on the generalized
linear sampling method, the method of recursive linearization,
anisotropic media and the use of target signatures in inverse scattering
theory have also been added.
