Surveys on Solution Methods for Inverse Problems

Inverse problems are concerned with determining causes for observed or desired effects. Problems of this type appear in many application fields both in science & in engineering. The mathematical modelling of inverse problems usually leads to ill-posed problems, i.e., problems where solutions need not exist, need not be unique or may depend discontinuously on the data. For this reason, numerical methods for solving inverse problems are especially difficult, special methods have to be developed which are known under the term "regularization methods". This volume contains twelve survey papers about solution methods for inverse & ill-posed problems & about their application to specific types of inverse problems, e.g., in scattering theory, in tomography & medical applications, in geophysics & in image processing. The papers have been written by leading experts in the field & provide an up-to-date account of solution methods for inverse problems.Colton, David L. is the author of 'Surveys on Solution Methods for Inverse Problems', published 0010 under ISBN 9783211834701 and ISBN 3211834702.
