Inverse scattering for three-dimensional quasi-linear biharmonic operator

Abstract

Abstract We consider an inverse scattering problem of recovering the unknown coefficients of a quasi-linearly perturbed biharmonic operator in the three-dimensional case. These unknown complex-valued coefficients are assumed to satisfy some regularity conditions on their nonlinearity, but they can be discontinuous or singular in their space variable. We prove Saito’s formula and uniqueness theorem of recovering some essential information about the unknown coefficients from the knowledge of the high frequency scattering amplitude.
