On the determination of Dirichlet or transmission eigenvalues from far field data
[Sur la détermination des fréquences propres de Dirichlet ou de transmission à partir de l'opérateur de champs lointains]
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Tome 348 (2010) no. 7-8, pp. 379-383.

Nous montrons qu'une certaine norme de l'onde de Herglotz ayant pour noyau la régularisée de Tikhonov de la solution de l'équation de champs lointains tend vers ∞ lorsque le paramètre de régularisation tend vers 0, si le nombre d'onde k appartient à un ensemble discret de valeurs. Lorsque l'objet diffractant est tel que l'onde s'annule sur sa frontière, ces valeurs sont les racines carrées des valeurs propres de Dirichlet pour −Δ. Lorsque l'objet diffractant est un milieu pénétrable non absorbant, ces valeurs coincident avec les dites valeurs propres de transmission.

We show that the Herglotz wave function with kernel the Tikhonov regularized solution of the far field equation becomes unbounded as the regularization parameter tends to zero iff the wavenumber k belongs to a discrete set of values. When the scatterer is such that the total field vanishes on the boundary, these values correspond to the square root of Dirichlet eigenvalues for −Δ. When the scatterer is a nonabsorbing inhomogeneous medium these values correspond to so-called transmission eigenvalues.
