On Emission Tomography of Inhomogeneous Media
The problem of finding the source distribution for particles (or radiation) in a bounded domain D from the emitting flow through the boundary of D is considered. The particles are supposed to move with unit velocity along geodesics of a Riemannian metric and can be absorbed by the medium. The metric and the absorption are known. Uniqueness of the solution to this problem and a stability estimat...
متن کاملThe effect of fasting on Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging
As a nuclear approach, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a functional imaging technique which is based on the detection of gamma ray pairs emitted by a positron-emitting radionuclide. There are certain limitations to this technique such as normal tissue uptake. Therefore, it has been recommended that patients prepare before scanning. Fasting for a short while before PET imaging is an exampl...
متن کاملNotes on Green’s functions in inhomogeneous media
All of these are of the form Au ˆ = f where  is self-adjoint and positive-definite (assuming zero Dirichlet boundary conditions and an appropriate inner product 〈u, v〉), as we’ve seen previously in class, so they should have unique solutions (excluding pathological c functions). However, the solutions may in general be quite different from those of −∇u = f . Can we relate them to G0, the Green...
متن کاملBranching diffusion in inhomogeneous media
We investigate the long-time evolution of branching diffusion processes (starting with a finite number of particles) in inhomogeneous media. The qualitative behavior of the processes depends on the intensity of the branching. In the super-critical regime, we describe the asymptotics of the number of particles in a given domain. In the sub-critical and critical regimes, we describe the distribut...
متن کاملLévy flights in inhomogeneous media.
We investigate the impact of external periodic potentials on superdiffusive random walks known as Lévy flights and show that even strongly superdiffusive transport is substantially affected by the external field. Unlike ordinary random walks, Lévy flights are surprisingly sensitive to the shape of the potential while their asymptotic behavior ceases to depend on the Lévy index mu. Our analysis ...
