Verification of a variational source condition for acoustic inverse medium scattering problems

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the classical inverse scattering problem to recover the refractive index of a medium given near or far field measurements of scattered time-harmonic acoustic waves. It contains the first rigorous proof of (logarithmic) rates of convergence for Tikhonov regularization under Sobolev smoothness assumptions for the refractive index. This is achieved by combining two lines of research, conditional stability estimates via geometrical optics solutions and variational regularization theory.
