On the scattered field generated by a ball inhomogeneity of constant index

We consider the solution of a scalar Helmholtz equation where the potential (or index) takes two positive values, one inside a disk of radius $\epsilon$ and another one outside. We derive sharp estimates of the size of the scattered field caused by this disk inhomogeneity, for any frequencies and an...

Summary:We consider the solution of a scalar Helmholtz equation where the potential (or index) takes two positive values, one inside a disk of radius $\epsilon$ and another one outside. We derive sharp estimates of the size of the scattered field caused by this disk inhomogeneity, for any frequencies and any contrast. We also provide a broadband estimate, that is, a uniform bound for the scattered field for any contrast, and any frequencies outside of a set which tend to zero with $\epsilon$.
