Título. Inverse scattering in random media

Conferenciante. Pedro Caro (Basque Center for Applied Mathematics)

Resumen.  In inverse scattering theory the aim is to determine a 
scattering potential from appropriate measurements. In many applications 
the scatterer is non-smooth and vastly complicated. For such scatterers, 
the inverse problem is not so much to recover the exact micro-structure 
of an object but merely to determine the parameters or functions 
describing the properties of the micro-structure. An example of such a 
parameter is the local strength of the scatterer, which shows how 
realizations oscillate around the mean. In mathematical terms, the 
potential is assumed to be a Gaussian random function whose covariance 
operator is a classical pseudo-differential operator. The local strength 
is represented by the principal symbol of the covariance operator.
The goal of this mini-course will be to show that the backscattered 
field, obtained from a single realization of the random potential, 
determines uniquely its local strength.Throughout the course we will 
discuss the notion of generalized random functions and the regularity of 
Gaussian microlocally isotropic random fields. We will give an overview 
of the forward scattering problem for this class of potentials. 
Eventually, we show how we can reconstruct the local strength from some 
average on the backscattering data.
The course will be based on a joint work with Tapio Helin and Matti Lassas.
