Abstract

We carry out quantitative studies on the Green operator $\mathscr{\hat{G}}$ associated with the Born equation, an integral equation that models electromagnetic scattering, building the strong stability of the evolution semigroup $\lbrace \exp (i \tau G\mathscr{\hat{G}}) \vert \tau \geq 0 \rbrace$ on polynomial compactness and the Arendt–Batty–Lyubich–Vũ theorem. The strongly-stable evolution semigroup inspires our proposal of a nonperturbative method to solve the light scattering problem and improve the Born approximation.
