Modeling of the exact solution of the inverse scattering problem by functional methods

Relations between different functional algorithms for solving the inverse scattering problem are analyzed. It is shown that the Rose algorithm does not provide a unique solution, but can be used as a means to improve the interference resistance in reconstruction algorithms that provide unique restoration of scatterer characteristics. The possibility of unique reconstruction of refractive-absorbing scatterers by the modified Rose algorithm, which includes the Sokhotsky equation, is illustrated. Results of numeric simulation of the Novikov-Grinevich-Manakov algorithm, which is efficient in reconstructing two-dimensional acoustic refractive-absorbing scatterers of actually arbitrary shape and strength, are presented. The algorithm rigorously allows for multiple scattering effects. It is promising for tomography-like application problems and features a sufficiently high interference resistance.
