Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for reconstructing the complex index of refraction of a bounded two-dimensional inhomogeneous object of known geometric configuration from measured scattered field data is presented, which is an extension of recent results on the direct scattering problem wherein the governing domain integral equation was solved iteratively by a successive over-relaxation technique.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the first 2N+1 Fourier coefficients contain enough information about the function, so that an exponentially convergent approximation (in the maximum norm) can be constructed.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the problem of determining the electromagnetic state of a body from measurements made on the surface of the body and study the full set of Maxwell's equations that govern time-harmonic electric and magnetic fields.

TL;DR: Two quasi-minimal residual methods for solving non-Hermitian linear systems have been proposed, which — unlike GMRES — are based on short recurrences and hence can be used as true iterative schemes, without restarts.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions for a critical point of certain two-dimensional cubic differential systems to be a centre are presented. But the REDUCE system is not used for the problem of finding the center of such systems.
