Localized MFS for three‐dimensional acoustic inverse problems on complicated domains

This paper proposes a semi‐analytical and local meshless collocation method,the loca-lized method of fundamental solutions(LMFS),to address three‐dimensional(3D)acoustic inverse problems in complex domains.The proposed approach is a recently developed numerical scheme with the potential of being mathematically simple,nu-merically accurate,and requiring less computational time and storage.In LMFS,an overdetermined sparse linear system is constructed by using the known data at the nodes on the accessible boundary and by making the remaining nodes satisfy the governing equation.In the numerical procedure,the pseudoinverse of a matrix is solved via the truncated singular value decomposition,and thus the regularization techniques are not needed in solving the resulting linear system with a well‐conditioned matrix.Numerical experiments,involving complicated geometry and the high noise level,confirm the ef-fectiveness and performance of the LMFS for solving 3D acoustic inverse problems.

A Global Uniqueness Result in Inverse Acoustic Obstacle Scattering Problem

It is proved that a sound-soft scatterer in R^N （N = 2, 3） is uniquely determined by a finite number of acoustic far-field measurements. The admissible scatterer possibly consists of finitely many solid obstacles and subsets of （N - 1）- dimensional hyperplanes.

Comparisons between Isotropic and Anisotropic TV Regularizations in Inverse Acoustic Scattering

This article compares the isotropic and anisotropic TV regularizations used in inverse acoustic scattering. It is observed that compared with the traditional Tikhonov regularization, isotropic and anisotropic TV regularizations perform better in the sense of edge preserving. While anisotropic TV regularization will cause distortions along axes. To minimize the energy function with isotropic and anisotropic regularization terms, we use split Bregman scheme. We do several 2D numerical experiments to validate the above arguments.

RECONSTRUCTION STABILITY OF NEARFIELD ACOUSTIC HOLOGRAPHY

The distributed source boundary point method （DSBPM） is used as the spatial transform algorithm for realizing nearfield acoustic holography （NAH）, the sensitivity of the reconstructed solution to the measurement errors is analyzed, and the regularization method is proposed to stabilize the reconstruction process, control the influence of the measurement errors and get a better approximate solution. An oscillating sphere is investigated as a numerical example, the influence of the measurement errors on the reconstruction solution is demonstrated, and the feasibility and validity of the regularization method are validated.
