Description
Summary:We study the validity of the Neumann or Born series approach in solving the Helmholtz equation and coefficient identification in related inverse scattering problems. Precisely, we derive a sufficient and necessary condition under which the series is strongly convergent. We also investigate the rate of convergence of the series. The obtained condition is optimal and it can be much weaker than the traditional requirement for the convergence of the series. Our approach makes use of reduction space techniques proposed by Suzuki [21]. Furthermore we propose an interpolation method that allows the use of the Neumann series in all cases. Finally, we provide several numerical tests with different medium functions and frequency values to validate our theoretical results.
