چکیده

The theory of inverse transport consists of reconstructing optical properties of a domain of interest from measurements performed at the boundary of the domain. Using the decomposition of the measurement operator into singular components (ballistic part, single scattering part, multiple scattering part), several stability estimates have been obtained that show what may stably be reconstructed from available measurements. Such stability estimates typically assume that the measurements are in the range of the functional mapping the optical parameters to the measurement operator. In practice, available measurements are rarely in the latter range, which renders the stability estimates of lesser interest. In this paper, we generalize the derivation of the stability estimates to account for general physical noise models. The resulting approximate stability estimates provide a quantitative description of the type of information that may be obtained on the optical parameters.

Approximate Lipschitz stability for non-overdetermined inverse scattering at fixed energy

Abstract. We prove approximate Lipschitz stability for non-overdetermined inverse scattering at fixed energy with incomplete data in dimension d ≥ 2. Our estimates are given in uniform norm for coefficient difference and related stability precision efficiently increases with increasing energy and coefficient difference regularity. In addition, our estimates are rather optimal even in the Born a...

Module approximate amenability of Banach algebras

In the present paper, the concepts of module (uniform) approximate amenability and contractibility of Banach algebras that are modules over another Banach algebra, are introduced. The general theory is developed and some hereditary properties are given. In analogy with the Banach algebraic approximate amenability, it is shown that module approximate amenability and contractibility are the same ...

Inverse problems are often ill-posed, with solutions that depend sensitively on data. In any numerical approach to the solution of such problems, regularization of some form is needed to counteract the resulting instability. This paper is based on an approach to regularization, employing a Bayesian formulation of the problem, which leads to a notion of well-posedness for inverse problems, at th...
