Imaging junctions of waveguides

Abstract

In this paper we address the identification of defects by the Linear Sampling Method in half-waveguides which are related to each other by junctions. Firstly a waveguide which is characterized by an abrupt change of properties is considered, secondly the more difficult case of several half-waveguides related to each other by a junction of complex geometry. Our approach is illustrated by some two-dimensional numerical experiments.
