Title: Some analytical tools for non-linear eigenvalues applied to inverse scattering.

Abstract: We will discuss some results pertaining to non-linear eigenvalue problems and how they can be used to study the transmission eigenvalue problem that comes from inverse scattering. Transmission eigenvalue problems are a new class of eigenvalue problems that are non-selfadjoint and non-linear (in the proper function spaces) which can not be handled by standard theory (such as the Hilbert–Schmidt theorem).
