Local geometric properties of conductive transmission eigenfunctions and applications

Abstract

The purpose of the paper is twofold. First, we show that partial-data transmission eigenfunctions associated with a conductive boundary condition vanish locally around a polyhedral or conic corner in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$, $n=2,3$. Second, we apply the spectral property to the geometrical inverse scattering problem of determining the shape as well as its boundary impedance parameter of a conductive scatterer, independent of its medium content, by a single far-field measurement. We establish several new unique recovery results. The results extend the relevant ones in [30] in two directions: first, we consider a more general geometric setup where both polyhedral and conic corners are investigated, whereas in [30] only polyhedral corners are concerned; second, we significantly relax the regularity assumptions in [30] which is particularly useful for the geometrical inverse problem mentioned above. We develop novel technical strategies to achieve these new results.
