The boundary condition on $S$ is assumed to be the Dirichlet, or Neumann, or the impedance one. The uniqueness theorem for the solution of multidimensional inverse scattering problems with non-over-determined data was not known for many decades. Such a theorem is proved in this paper for inverse scattering by obstacles for the first time.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-04-06T13:07:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35R30", "35J05" ], "keywords": [ "inverse obstacle scattering", "non-over-determined data", "boundary condition", "multidimensional inverse scattering problems", "unit sphere" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160401601R" } } }
