Reconstruction procedures for two inverse scattering problems without the phase information

Abstract: This is a continuation of two recent publications of the authors about reconstruction procedures for 3-d phaseless inverse scattering problems. The main novelty of this paper is that the Born approximation for the case of the wave-like equation is not considered. It is shown here that the phaseless inverse scattering problem for the 3-d wave-like equation in the frequency domain leads to the well known Inverse Kinematic Problem. Uniqueness theorem follows. Still, since the Inverse Kinematic Problem is very hard to solve, a linearization is applied. More precisely, geodesic lines are replaced with straight lines. As a result, an approximate explicit reconstruction formula is obtained via the inverse Radon transform. The second reconstruction method is via solving a problem of the integral geometry using integral equations of the Abel type.
