Abstract: An important question arising in inverse problems for wave scattering is whether for a given inhomogeneous bounded obstacle in two dimensions there is an incident wave that does not scatter. Closely connected to this question is the solution of the interior transmission problem.Therefore, let $A$ be the discrete set of non-scattering wave numbers and $B$ be the discrete set of transmission eigenvalues.It is well-known that $A=B\neq \emptyset$ holds for a disk and $B\supsetneq A=\emptyset$ holds for a square. The questions remains whether there is a bounded obstacle for which $A\subsetneq B$ with $A\neq \emptyset$. To address this question, the problem at hand is recasted as a constrained optimization problem using Fourier-Besselfunctions and then finally solved numerically. Some numerical results are presented and interesting observations are made both of which merit further investigation.
