Inverse backscattering for the Schrödinger equation in 2D

Abstract

We study the inverse backscattering problem for the Schrödinger equation in two dimensions. We prove that, for a non-smooth potential in 2D the main singularities up to 1/2 of the derivative of the potential are contained in the Born approximation (Diffraction Tomography approximation) constructed from the backscattering data. We measure singularities in the scale of Hilbertian Sobolev spaces.
