THE INTERIOR TRANSMISSION EIGENVALUE PROBLEM FOR AN ANISOTROPIC MEDIUM BY A PARTIALLY COATED BOUNDARY

We consider the interior transmission eigenvalue problem corresponding to the scattering for an anisotropic medium of the scalar Helmholtz equation in the case where the boundary?Ωis split into two disjoint parts and possesses different transmission conditions.Using the variational method,we obtain the well posedness of the interior transmission problem,which plays an important role in the proof of the discreteness of eigenvalues.Then we achieve the existence of an infinite discrete set of transmission eigenvalues provided that n≡1,where a fourth order differential operator is applied.In the case of n■1,we show the discreteness of the transmission eigenvalues under restrictive assumptions by the analytic Fredholm theory and the T-coercive method.

DISCRETENESS OF THE EXTERIOR TRANSMISSION EIGENVALUES

In this paper we consider a kind of exterior transmission problem in which the refractive index n（x） is a piecewise positive constant. Through establishing an equivalent boundary integral system, we obtain that the set of exterior transmission eigenvalues is a discrete set. Furthermore, we prove that there does not exist a transmission eigenvalue under some conditions.

On a Hybrid Method for Inverse Transmission Eigenvalue Problems

In this paper, we are concerned with the inverse transmission eigenvalue problem to recover the shape as well as the constant refractive index of a penetrable medium scatterer. The linear sampling method is employed to determine the transmission eigenvalues within a certain wavenumber interval based on far-field measurements. Based on a prior information given by the linear sampling method, the neural network approach is proposed for the reconstruction of the unknown scatterer. We divide the wavenumber intervals into several subintervals, ensuring that each transmission eigenvalue is located in its corresponding subinterval. In each such subinterval, the wavenumber that yields the maximum value of the indicator functional will be included in the input set during the generation of the training data. This technique for data generation effectively ensures the consistent dimensions of model input. The refractive index and shape are taken as the output of the network. Due to the fact that transmission eigenvalues considered in our method are relatively small,certain super-resolution effects can also be generated. Numerical experiments are presented to verify the effectiveness and promising features of the proposed method in two and three dimensions.

The A Priori and A Posteriori Error Estimates for Modified Interior Transmission Eigenvalue Problem in Inverse Scattering

In this paper,we discuss the conforming finite element method for a modified interior transmission eigenvalues problem.We present a complete theoretical analysis for the method,including the a priori and a posteriori error estimates.The theoretical analysis is conducted under the assumption of low regularity on the solution.We prove the reliability and efficiency of the a posteriori error estimators for eigenfunctions up to higher order terms,and we also analyze the reliability of estimators for eigenvalues.Finally,we report numerical experiments to show that our posteriori error estimator is effective and the approximations can reach the optimal convergence order.The numerical results also indicate that the conforming finite element eigenvalues approximate the exact ones from below,and there exists a monotonic relationship between the conforming finite element eigenvalues and the refractive index through numerical experiments.

Transmission eigenvalue problem for inhomogeneous absorbing media with mixed boundary condition

Consider the transmission eigenvalue problem for the wave scattering by a dielectric inhomogeneous absorbing obstacle lying on a perfect conducting surface. After excluding the purely imaginary transmission eigenvalues, we prove that the transmission eigenvalues exist and form a discrete set for inhomogeneous nonabsorbing media, by using analytic Fredholm theory. Moreover, we derive the Faber-Krahn type inequalities revealing the lower bounds on real transmission eigenvalues in terms of the media parameters. Then, for inhomogeneous media with small absorption, we prove that the transmission eigenvalues also exist and form a discrete set by using perturbation theory. Finally, for homogeneous media, we present possible components of the eigenvalue-free zone quantitatively, giving the geometric understanding on this problem.

An H^m-conforming spectral element method on multi-dimensional domain and its application to transmission eigenvalues

We develop an Hm-conforming(m 1) spectral element method on multi-dimensional domain associated with the partition into multi-dimensional rectangles. We construct a set of basis functions on the interval [-1, 1] that are made up of the generalized Jacobi polynomials(GJPs) and the nodal basis functions.So the basis functions on multi-dimensional rectangles consist of the tensorial product of the basis functions on the interval [-1, 1]. Then we construct the spectral element interpolation operator and prove the associated interpolation error estimates. Finally, we apply the H2-conforming spectral element method to the Helmholtz transmission eigenvalues that is a hot problem in the field of engineering and mathematics.

A Holomorphic Operator Function Approach for the Transmission Eigenvalue Problem of Elastic Waves

The paper presents a holomorphic operator function approach for the transmission eigenvalue problem of elastic waves using the discontinuous Galerkin method.To use the abstract approximation theory for holomorphic operator functions,we rewrite the elastic transmission eigenvalue problem as the eigenvalue problem of a holomorphic Fredholm operator function of index zero.The convergence for the discontinuous Galerkin method is proved following the abstract theory of the holomorphic Fredholm operator.The spectral indicator method is employed to compute the transmission eigenvalues.Extensive numerical examples are presented to validate the theory.

A spectral projection method for transmission eigenvalues

We consider a nonlinear integral eigenvalue problem, which is a reformulation of the transmission eigenvalue problem arising in the inverse scattering theory. The boundary element method is employed for discretization, which leads to a generalized matrix eigenvalue problem. We propose a novel method based on the spectral projection. The method probes a given region on the complex plane using contour integrals and decides whether the region contains eigenvalue(s) or not. It is particularly suitable to test whether zero is an eigenvalue of the generalized eigenvalue problem, which in turn implies that the associated wavenumber is a transmission eigenvalue. Effectiveness and efficiency of the new method are demonstrated by numerical examples.

An adaptive C^0IPG method for the Helmholtz transmission eigenvalue problem

The interior penalty methods using C^0 Lagrange elements(C^0 IPG) developed in the recent decade for the fourth order problems are an interesting topic at present. In this paper, we discuss the adaptive proporty of C^0 IPG method for the Helmholtz transmission eigenvalue problem. We give the a posteriori error indicators for primal and dual eigenfunctions, and prove their reliability and efficiency. We also give the a posteriori error indicator for eigenvalues and design a C^0 IPG adaptive algorithm. Numerical experiments show that this algorithm is efficient and can get the optimal convergence rate.

RECURSIVE INTEGRAL METHOD FOR THE NONLINEAR NON-SELFADJOINT TRANSMISSION EIGENVALUE PROBLEM

The transmission eigenvalue problem is an eigenvalue problem that arises in the scatter- ing of time-harmonic waves by an inhomogeneous medium of compact support. Based on a fourth order formulation, the transmission eigenvalue problem is discretized by the Mor- ley element. For the resulting quadratic eigenvalue problem, a recursive integral method is used to compute real and complex eigenvalues in prescribed regions in the complex plane. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
