Inverse Problems in Mathematical Physics: Proceedings of The Lapland Conference on Inverse Problems Held at Saariselk?, Finland, 1420 June 1992 [Paperback]

The book contains presentations of recent and ongoingresearch on inverse problems and its application toengineering and physical sciences. The articles arestructured around three closely related topics: Inversescattering problems, inverse boundary value problems, andinverse spectral problems. The applications range fromquantum and electromagnetic scattering to medical imaging,geophysical sounding of the Earth, and non-destructivematerial evaluation. The book gives an up-to-datepresentation of the most recent developments in theserapidlychanging and evolving fields of applied research.The contributors of the volume give extra emphysis to thepedagogical aspects of their presentation to make thiscollection eysily accessible to graduate students as well asto people working on nearby fields of research.Stability for the crack determination problem.- Layer-stripping reconstruction algorithms in impedance imaging.- Determination of the inhomogeneous term in evolution equations.- Target signatures for Maxwell's equations.- The use of Gra?mann identities for inversion of a general model in diffuse tomography.- Generic uniqueness and stability in some inverse parabolic problem.- Regularization  Analytic and stochastic aspects.- Problems in impedance imaging.- Uniqueness for inverse problems in quasilinear differential equations.- Diffraction by periodic structures.- On uniqueness in inverse obstacle scattering.- The inverse Scattering Problem for a homogeneous Bi-isotropic Slab Using Transient data.- On the inverse scattering problem for rational reflection coefficients.- Some geometric aspects of multidimensional inverse spectral problems.- Three dimensional time harmonic inverse electromagnetic scattering.- Determination of a radially symmetric speed of sound from transmission eigenvalues.- A finite difference method for the inverse scattering problem at fixed frequency.- Present status of the generalized Marchenko metl³(
