9781330131367: The Inverse Scattering Problem

Synopsis

This book introduces a method to determine the properties of a physical system by analyzing the reflection of waves associated with the system. The author was inspired by work in quantum mechanics that resolved the problem of finding a potential from a given set of eigenvalues. The author adapts this method to a differential equation that describes the propagation of waves in a medium. The book begins with a review of the basic concepts of wave propagation and scattering, then develops the mathematical tools necessary to solve the inverse scattering problem. The book concludes with a discussion of the significance of the inverse scattering problem in various fields of physics, including acoustics, electromagnetism, and quantum mechanics.
