目的 首都圏の偏微分方程式、実解析の研究をさらに活発にするために本研究会を東大で開催いたします。
偏微分方程式研究者と実解析研究者の討論がより日常的になることを目指しています。
そのため、講演がその分野の概観をもわかるような形になるよう配慮いたします。
また講演者との1対1の討論がしやすいように講演は火曜の午前とし、午後に討論用の場所を用意いたします。
この研究会を通して皆様に気楽に東大を訪問していただければ幸いです。
北海道大学のHPには、第1回(2004年9月29日)~第38回(2008年10月15日)の情報が掲載されております。

Inverse Obstacle Recovery when the boundary condition is also unknown
[ 講演概要 ]
We consider the inverse problem of recovering the shape, location
and surface properties of an object where the surrounding medium
is both conductive and homogeneous. It is assumed that the physical situation is modeled by either harmonic functions or solutions of the Helmholtz equation and that the boundary condition on the obstacle is one of impedance type. We measure either Cauchy data, on an accessible part of the exterior boundary or the far field pattern resulting from a plane wave. Given sets of Cauchy data pairs we wish to recover both the shape and location of the unknown obstacle together with its impedance.
It turns out this adds considerable complexity to the analysis. We give a local injectivity result and use two different algorithms
to investigate numerical reconstructions. The setting is in two space dimensions, but indications of possible extensions (and difficulties) to three dimensions are provided. We also look at the case of a nonlinear impedance function.

The Inverse Scattering Problem for an Isotropic Medium
[ 講演概要 ]
This talk is concerned with the inverse electromagnetic scattering problem for an isotropic inhomogeneous infinite cylinder. After formulating the direct scattering problem we proceed to the inverse scattering problem which is the main theme of this lecture. After discussing what is known about uniqueness for the inverse problem,we will proceed to the definition and properties of the far field operator. This leads to the study of a rather unusual spectral problem for partial differential equations called the interior transmission problem. We will state what is known about this problem including its role in determining lower bounds for the index of refraction from a knowledge of the far field pattern of the scattered wave, The talk is concluded by briefly considering the case of limited aperture data,in particular the use of the gap reciprocity method to determine the shape and location of buried objects. Numerical examples will be given as well as a number of open problems.
