Some scattering problems for the multidimensional biharmonic operator are studied. The operator is perturbed by first and zero order perturbations, which maybe complex-valued and singular. We show that the solutions to direct scattering problem satisfy a Lippmann-Schwinger equation, and that this integral equation has a unique solution in the weighted Sobolev space H 2 −δ. The main result of this paper is the proof of Saito's formula, which can be used to prove a uniqueness theorem for the inverse scattering problem. The proof of Saito's formula is based on norm estimates for the resolvent of the direct operator in H 1 −δ .
We consider the inverse backscattering problem for a biharmonic operator with two lower order perturbations in two and three dimensions. The inverse Born approximation is used to recover jumps and singularities of an unknown combination of potentials. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the practical usefulness of the method.
The subject of this work concerns the classical direct and inverse scattering problems for quasi-linear perturbations of the two-dimensional biharmonic operator. The quasi-linear perturbations of the first and zero order might be complex-valued and singular. We show the existence of the scattering solutions to the direct scattering problem in the Sobolev space W 1 ∞ (R 2). Then the inverse scattering problem can be formulated as follows: does the knowledge of the far field pattern uniquely determine the unknown coefficients for given differential operator? It turns out that the answer to this classical question is affirmative for quasi-linear perturbations of the biharmonic operator. Moreover, we present a numerical method for the reconstruction of unknown coefficients, which from the practical point of view can be thought of as recovery of the coefficients from fixed energy measurements.
