Recently, electromagnetic and ultrasonic imaging of inhomogeneous objects by applying the moment-method procedures of forward scattering problems in the reverse sequence have been developed. In this paper, the inverse scattering formulation has been modified to be applicable in the spectral domain. Compared to previous schemes, the suggested formulation illustrates clearly the actual mechanism of the inverse scattering process by explicit separation of the contributions from several variables, such as the measurement location, basis function, and geometry of objects. The ill-posedness inherent in inverse scattering problems was also explained easily in this spectral scheme by the exponentially-decaying behavior of high-frequency spectral components of the scattered field. It implies that enlargement of the discretized cell size is a key factor in regularizing the ill-posedness. In particular, since the singular kernel to be integrated on each cell became regular in the modified scheme, various types of basis functions instead of pulse function were adopted without additional difficulties. This advantage is expected to play an important role in regularizing the noise effect by selecting polynomial basis function on the enlarged cells of discretization in the spectral inverse scattering scheme.

AbstractThis paper is a continuation of our earlier work [SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 32(2010), pp. 2875-2907] in which a numerical moment method with arbitrary order of moments was presented. However, the computation may break down during the calculation of the structure of a shock wave with Mach number M0≥ 3. In this paper, we concentrate on the regularization of the moment systems. First, we apply the Maxwell iteration to the infinite moment system and determine the magnitude of each moment with respect to the Knudsen number. After that, we obtain the approximation of high order moments and close the moment systems by dropping some high-order terms. Linearization is then performed to obtain a very simple regularization term, thus it is very convenient for numerical implementation. To validate the new regularization, the shock structures of low order systems are computed with different shock Mach numbers.
