SLIDE 8 Identification using topological derivative: overview
Topological derivative T3
The leading-order expansion of J(ua) is already known as: J(ua) = J(u) + a3T3(z, B) + o(a3) T3 is called the topological derivative (or sensitivity, or gradient) of J. [Sokolowski, Zochowski, 1999; Garreau, Guillaume, Masmoudi, 2001; Guzina, B 2004; Amstutz, Takahashi, Wexler 2008] ... Heuristic: locations z where T3(z) takes the most negative values are good candidates for the real defect location. Many empirical validations of this heuristic even for macroscopic defects
◮ using synthetic data (references above and many more) ◮ using experimental data [Tokmashev, Tixier, Guzina 2013].
Heuristic proved in some cases:
◮ β = 0 and “moderate” scatterers [Bellis, B, Cakoni 2013], ◮ small obstacles [Ammari et al. 2012],
High-frequency behavior investigated [Guzina, Pourahmadian 2015] (T3 tends to emphasize the boundaries of the obstacles).
