Enhanced Resolution in Structured Media

The aim of this paper is to prove that we can achieve a resolution enhancement in detecting a target inclusion if it is surrounded by an appropriate structured medium. The physical notions of resolution and focal spot are revisited. Indeed, the resolution enhancement is estimated in terms of the material parameters of the structured medium.
