Inverse problems arise in practical situations such as medical imaging geophysical exploration and non-destructive evaluation where measurements made on the exterior of a body are used to determine properties of the inaccessible interior. There have been substantial developments in the mathematical theory of inverse problems and applications have expanded greatly. In this volume leading experts in the theoretical and applied aspects of inverse problems offer extended surveys on several important topics in modern inverse problems such as microlocal analysis reflection seismology tomography inverse scattering and X-ray transforms. Each article covers a particular topic or topics with an emphasis on accessibility and integration with the whole volume. Thus the collection can be at the same time stimulating to researchers and accessible to graduate students. Language: English
