The key point is the study of the smoothing properties of the quartic term in the Neumann-Born expansion of the scattering amplitude in 3D, together with a Leibniz formula for multiple scattering valid in any dimension.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-02-18T10:54:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35Q40" ], "keywords": [ "backscattering data", "singularities", "reconstruction", "multiple scattering valid", "backscattering inverse data" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 33, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0902.3096R" } } }
