IPscatt is a free, open-source toolbox in MATLAB that solves the inverse medium problem in time-independent scattering (also known as time-harmonic scattering) in two- and three-dimensional setting. It is provided as free software under the GNU General Public License (GPLv3).
The most recent version ipscatt2019 is provided.
Supplementary material contains first, the source code, second, the source code documentation and third, the user guide.
The following releases are available:
The toolbox IPscatt was developed by Florian Bürgel (University of Bremen), Kamil S. Kazimierski (University of Graz), and Armin Lechleiter (University of Bremen).
Your comments are welcome! In case of bugs, confusing instructions or missing ones, please report them to Florian Bürgel (the email address is in the readme.txt).
The software package was originally provided as supplementary material to the following article:
