The enclosure method for inverse obstacle scattering problems with dynamical data over a finite time interval

Masaru Ikehata

Published 2009-07-01, updated 2009-09-26Version 2

A simple method for some class of inverse obstacle scattering problems is introduced. The observation data are given by a wave field measured on a known surface surrounding unknown obstacles over a finite time interval. The wave is generated by an initial data with compact support outside the surface. The method yields the distance from a given point outside the surface to obstacles and thus more than the convex hull.
