Special Session 35: Direct and inverse problems in wave propagation
Contents
We consider the transmission eigenvalue problem for an inhomogeneous medium containing a finite number of diametrically small inhomogeneities of different refractive index. We prove a convergence result for the transmission eigenvalues and eigenvectors corresponding to media with small homogeneities as the diameter of small inhomogeneities goes to zero. In addition we derive rigorously a formula for the perturbations in the real transmission eigenvalues caused by the presence of these small inhomogeneities.
