Abstract: We consider the interior inverse scattering problem for recovering the shape of a penetrable partially coated cavity with external obstacles from the knowledge of measured scattered waves due to point sources. In the first part, we obtain the well-posedness of the direct scattering problem by the variational method. In the second part, we establish the mathematical basis of the linear sampling method to recover both the shape of the cavity, and the shape of the external obstacle, however the exterior transmission eigenvalue problem also plays a key role in the discussion of this paper.

Key words: inverse scattering, mixed boundary value problem, exterior transmission eigenvalue, interior measurements, linear sampling method
