“…[6][7][8][9][10][11][12]). Various mathematical methods have been developed to study this eigenvalue problem, including variational methods, [6,10] boundary integral equation methods, [2,13] and semiclassical analysis. [9,11] On the other hand, it is shown in [14,15] that transmission eigenvalues can be determined from scattering data which together with the establishment of monotonicity properties of transmission eigenvalues in terms of the refractive index [6,16] opens the possibility to use transmission eigenvalues as target signature in the inverse medium problem.…”
