A general perturbation formula for electromagnetic fields in presence of low volume scatterers
In several practically interesting applications of electromagnetic scattering theory like, , scattering from small point-like objects such as buried artifacts or small inclusions in non-destructive testing, scattering from thin curve-like objects such as wires or tubes, or scattering from thin sheet-like objects such as cracks, the volume of the scatterers is small relative to the volume of the surrounding medium and with respect to the wave length of the applied electromagnetic fields. This smallness...
