Imaging Microstructures: Mathematical and Computational Challenges, Proceedings of a Research Conference June 18-20. 2008 Institut Henri Poincare Paris, France

Mostly mathematicians active in imaging, but also several physicists who speak mathematics well enough to converse about the issues, traded views on mathematical dimensions of imaging microstructures. The 11 papers consider such aspects as modeling and computing the scattering by a nano optical medium, faults in elastic half space as a direct and inverse problem, inverse Born series for diffuse waves, a reconstruction algorithm for the linearized polarization tomography problem with incomplete data, and the image system and Green's function for the ellipsoid.
