Note on a Uniqueness Theorem of Schiffer

Pages 181-188 | Published online: 02 May 2007
 

Abstract

AMS (MOS): 35R30, 76Q05

The uniqueness of the inverse scattering problem is examined. It is shown that the boundary conditions must be suitably restricted to secure uniqueness. For one class the far-field pattern for one incident field is sufficient for uniqueness and, for a wider class, information from a finite number of distinct incident waves suffices. In either case, the far-field also dictates the boundary condition on the scatterer.
