Abstract

The original proof of the Colton-Kirsch regularized sampling inverse scattering algorithm does not apply at frequencies which are eigenvalues of the interior Helmholtz problem. We explain numerical observations of the behavior of the method and show that useful information about scatterer shape can be obtained at internal resonance frequencies.
