Typically $\\widetilde\\Delta$ corresponds to a self-adjoint realization of the Laplace operator with some kind of boundary conditions imposed on a null subset; in particular our results apply to standard, either separating or semi-transparent, boundary conditions at $\\Gamma=\\partial\\Omega$, where $\\Omega\\subset{\\mathbb R}^{3}$ is a bounded Lipschitz domain. Similar results hold in the case the boundary conditions are assigned only on $\\Sigma\\subset\\Gamma$, a relatively open subset with a Lipschitz boundary. We show that either $\\Gamma$ or $\\Sigma$ are determined by the knowledge of the Scattering Matrix, equivalently of the Far Field Operator, at a single frequency.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-01-26T22:48:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "boundary conditions", "laplace operator", "inverse scattering", "lipschitz surfaces", "far field operator" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
