The La-DQM uses fictitious points to tackle the high-order differential equations with multi-boundary conditions and numerical results can be obtain directly in the calculation process. Six examples show the effectiveness and accuracy of the La-DQM in providing excellent estimates of unknown wave propagation from the given data. We think that the scheme is applicable to the ISP of wave propagation. Numerical results show that the La-DQM is powerful method for solving the inverse scattering problem of wave propagation.
