We develop a finite element method with rectangular perfectly matched layers （PMLs） for the wave scattering from two-dimensional cavities. The unbounded computational domain is truncated to a bounded one by using of a rectangular perfectly matched layer at the open aperture. The PML parameters such as the thickness of the layer and the fictitious medium property are determined through sharp a posteriori error estimates. Numerical experiments are carried out to illustrate the competitive behavior of the proposed method.
In this paper, we consider a MUSIC algorithm for locating point-like scatterers contained in a sample on flat substrate. Based on an asymptotic expansion of the scattering amplitude proposed by Ammari et al., the reconstruction problem can be reduced to a calculation of Green function corresponding to the background medium. In addition, we use an explicit formulation of Green function in the MUSIC algorithm to simplify the calculation when the cross-section of sample is a half-disc. Numerical experiments are included to demonstrate the feasibility of this method.
