Eigenvalue problems in inverse electromagnetic scattering theory
The inverse electromagnetic scattering problem for anisotropic media in general does not have a unique solution. A possible approach to this problem is through the use of appropriate "target signatures," i.e. eigenvalues associated with the direct scattering problem that are accessible to measurement from a knowledge of the scattering data. In this paper we shall consider three different sets of eigenvalues that can be used as target signatures: 1) eigenvalues of the electric far field operator, 2) transmission eigenvalues and 3) Stekloff eigenvalues.
