Inverse Problems, Image Analysis, and Medical Imaging: Ams Special Session on Interaction of Inverse Problems and Image Analysis, January 10-13, 2001, New Orleans, Louisiana

This collection of 15 papers from the January 2001 special session reports on recent advances in the recovery of a function, signal, or picture from partial or indirect information about the object. The contributors discuss the regularization of liner and nonlinear ill-posed problems, fractal and wavelet sets, robust hybrid steepest descent methods, and Sinc-Galerkin methods for approximate solution of partial differential equations. Topics include joint invariant signatures for curve recognition, inpainting based on nonlinear transport and diffusion, and mathematical models for 2D positron emission tomography. No index.
