Inside Out Inverse Problems and Applications [Hardcover]

In this book, leading experts in the theoretical and applied aspects of inverse problems offer extended surveys on several important topics.There have been substantial developments in the mathematical theory of inverse problems over the last twenty years and applications have expanded greatly in medical imaging, geophysical exploration, and non-destructive evaluation. In this book, 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.There have been substantial developments in the mathematical theory of inverse problems over the last twenty years and applications have expanded greatly in medical imaging, geophysical exploration, and non-destructive evaluation.
