Synopsis

It is shown that the inverse scattering problem for an infinite cylinder can be stabilized by assuming a priori that the unknown boundary of the cylindrical cross section lies in a compact family of continuously differentiable simple closed curves. A constructive method for determining the shape of this boundary is given under the assumption that an initial approximation is known and that the scattering cross section is known forn distinct incoming plane waves in the resonant region.
