We extend the applicability of the Generalized Linear Sampling Method (GLSM)[2] and the Factorization Method (FM)[16] to the case of inhomogeneities where the contrast changes sign. Both methods give an exact characterization of the target shapes in terms of the farfield operator (at a fixed frequency) using the coercivity property of a special solution operator. We prove this property assuming that the contrast has a fixed sign in a neighborhood of the inhomogeneities boundary. We treat both isotropic and anisotropic scatterers with possibly different supports for the isotropic and anisotropic parts. We finally validate the methods through some numerical tests in two dimensions.

Keywords: Inverse scattering problems, linear sampling method, factorization method, qualitative methods.
