Abstract In this work, we construct the Born and inverse Born approximation and series to recover two function-valued coefficients in the Helmholtz equation for inverse scattering problems from the scattering data at two different wave-numbers. An analysis of the convergence and approximation error of the proposed regularized inverse Born series is provided. The results show that the proposed series converges when the inverse Born approximations of the perturbations are sufficiently small. The preliminary numerical results show the capability of the proposed regularized inverse Born approximation and series for recovering the isotropic inhomogeneous media.

Analysis of the inverse Born series: an approach through geometric function theory
Abstract We analyze the convergence and approximation error of the inverse Born series, obtaining results that hold under qualitatively weaker conditions than previously known. Our approach makes use of tools from geometric function theory in Banach spaces. An application to the inverse scattering problem with diffuse waves is described.

Inverse kinematics solves the problem of how to control robot arm joints to achieve desired end effector positions, which is critical to any robot arm design and implemen- tations of control algorithms. It is a common misunderstanding that closed-form inverse kinematics analysis is solved. Popular software and algorithms, such as gradient descent or any multi-variant equations solving algorithm, claims solving inverse kinematics but only on the numerical level. While the numerical inverse kinematics solutions are rela- tively straightforward to obtain, these methods often fail, due to dependency on specific numerical values, even when the inverse kinematics solutions exist. Therefore, closed-form inverse kinematics analysis is superior, but there is no generalized automated algorithm. Up till now, the high-level logical reasoning involved in solving closed-form inverse kine- matics made it hard to automate, so it’s handled by human experts. We developed IKBT, a knowledge-based intelligent system that can mimic human experts’ behaviors in solving closed-from inverse kinematics using Behavior Tree. Knowledge and rules used by engineers when solving closed-from inverse kinematics are encoded as actions in Behavior Tree. The order of applying these rules is governed by higher level composite nodes, which resembles the logical reasoning process of engineers. It is also the first time that the dependency of joint variables, an important issue in inverse kinematics analysis, is automatically tracked in graph form. Besides generating closed-form solutions, IKBT also explains its solving strategies in human (engineers) interpretable form. This is a proof-of-concept of using Behavior Trees to solve high-cognitive problems.more » « less

null (Ed.)Abstract Automated inverse design methods are critical to the development of metamaterial systems that exhibit special user-demanded properties. While machine learning approaches represent an emerging paradigm in the design of metamaterial structures, the ability to retrieve inverse designs on-demand remains lacking. Such an ability can be useful in accelerating optimization-based inverse design processes. This paper develops an inverse design framework that provides this capability through the novel usage of invertible neural networks (INNs). We exploit an INN architecture that can be trained to perform forward prediction over a set of high-fidelity samples and automatically learns the reverse mapping with guaranteed invertibility. We apply this INN for modeling the frequency response of periodic and aperiodic phononic structures, with the performance demonstrated on vibration suppression of drill pipes. Training and testing samples are generated by employing a transfer matrix method. The INN models provide competitive forward and inverse prediction performance compared to typical deep neural networks (DNNs). These INN models are used to retrieve approximate inverse designs for a queried non-resonant frequency range; the inverse designs are then used to initialize a constrained gradient-based optimization process to find a more accurate inverse design that also minimizes mass. The INN-initialized optimizations are found to be generally superior in terms of the queried property and mass compared to randomly initialized and inverse DNN-initialized optimizations. Particle swarm optimization with INN-derived initial points is then found to provide even better solutions, especially for the higher-dimensional aperiodic structures.more » « less

We consider hyper-differential sensitivity analysis (HDSA) of nonlinear Bayesian inverse problems governed by partialdifferential equations (PDEs) with infinite-dimensional parameters. In previous works, HDSA has been used to assessthe sensitivity of the solution of deterministic inverse problems to additional model uncertainties and also different types of measurement data. In the present work, we extend HDSA to the class of Bayesian inverse problems governed by PDEs. The focus is on assessing the sensitivity of certain key quantities derived from the posterior distribution. Specifically, we focus on analyzing the sensitivity of the MAP point and the Bayes risk and make full use of the information embedded in the Bayesian inverse problem. After establishing our mathematical framework for HDSA of Bayesian inverse problems, we present a detailed computational approach for computing the proposed HDSA indices. We examine the effectiveness of the proposed approach on an inverse problem governed by a PDE modeling heat conduction.more » « less

We describe and compare two formulations of inverse problems for a physics-based process model in the context of uncertainty and random variability: the Bayesian inverse problem and the stochastic inverse problem. We describe the foundations of the two problems in order to create a context for interpreting the applicability and solutions of inverse problems important for scientific and engineering inference. We conclude by comparing them to statistical approaches to related problems, including Bayesian calibration of computer models.more » « less
