Abstract
The modified transmission eigenvalue (MTE) problem was introduced in [S. Cogar, D. Colton, S. Meng and P. Monk, Modified transmission eigenvalues in inverse scattering theory, Inverse Problems 33 2017, 12, Article ID 125002] and used as a target signature for nondestructive testing. In this paper, we study the inverse spectral problem to reconstruct the modified transmission eigenvalues using Cauchy data. We propose a reciprocity gap functional method and show that the MTEs can be determined by solving some linear ill-posed integral equations. Numerical examples for both absorbing and non-absorbing media are presented to validate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method.
