The Method of Approximate Inverse: Theory and Applications (Lecture Notes in Mathematics)

by ThomasSchuster (Author)

Synopsis

This book is concerned with the method of approximate inverse which is a regularization technique for stably solving inverse problems in various settings. It demonstrates the performance and functionality of the method on several examples from medical imaging and non-destructive testing, such as computerized tomography, Doppler tomography, SONAR, X-ray diffractometry and thermoacoustic computerized tomography.

Media Reviews

From the reviews:

The powerful method of the approximate inverse is a good bunch of regularization techniques, and this monograph presents a comprehensive outline of this method. Application to 3D Doppler tomography and the spherical mean operator is then studied in details, and further results on X-ray diffractometry, thermoacoustic computerized tomography and reconstruction kernels in 3D are attached. The book is naturally recommended for computer tomographers and graduate students heading toward computer tomography, but it contains many beneficial results for researchers of Radon transforms too. (Arpad Kurusa, Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum, Vol. 74, 2008)

The book under review which deals with a particular class of regularization methods, the so called method of approximate inverse, is the result of continuous study of the author for more than a decade, by himself for his habilitation thesis and also in collaborations with many experts in the field, including A. K. Louis (his own teacher), A. Rieder and many others. ... No doubt, the book is a good addition to the literature on regularization of ill-posed inverse problems. (M. Thamban Nair, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1171, 2009)
