“…The Lippmann‐Schwinger equation is an integral formulation of the Helmholtz equation when used to analyze scattering problems. A solution to is a solution to the integral equation where and is the fundamental solution to the background Helmholtz equation This relationship is an equivalence provided has compact support in , and all of the appropriate solutions are smooth enough (Cakoni et al, ). In particular, if has support , we notice that based on the formulation of , once we know the solution …”
