Multi-frequency topological derivative for an approximate shape

In this paper, we consider an imaging algorithm based on the topological derivative in order to retrieve the shape of penetrable electromagnetic inclusions when their dielectric permittivity and/or magnetic permeability differ from the one of the embedding (homogeneous) material. The main focus is the imaging of crack-like thin inclusions but the algorithm can be applied to the arbitrary shaped inclusions. For this purpose, we apply multiple time-harmonic frequencies and propose normalize topological derivative imaging function by its maximum value. In order to show its validation, we apply it for imaging of two-dimensional crack-like thin electromagnetic inhomogeneities completely hidden in a homogeneous material. Corresponding numerical simulations with noisy data are performed for showing efficacy of proposed algorithm.
