Abstract
The first globally convergent numerical method for a coefficient inverse problem for the Riemannian radiative transfer equation (RRTE) is constructed. This is a version of the so-called convexification method, which has been pursued by this research group for a number of years for some other CIPs for PDEs. Those PDEs are significantly different from the RRTE. The presence of the Carleman weight function in the numerical scheme is the key element which insures the global convergence. Convergence analysis is presented along with the results of numerical experiments, which confirm the theory. RRTE governs the propagation of photons in the diffuse medium in the case when they propagate along geodesic lines between their collisions. Geodesic lines are generated by the spatially variable dielectric constant of the medium.
期刊介绍:
SIAM Journal on Imaging Sciences (SIIMS) covers all areas of imaging sciences, broadly interpreted. It includes image formation, image processing, image analysis, image interpretation and understanding, imaging-related machine learning, and inverse problems in imaging; leading to applications to diverse areas in science, medicine, engineering, and other fields. The journal’s scope is meant to be broad enough to include areas now organized under the terms image processing, image analysis, computer graphics, computer vision, visual machine learning, and visualization. Formal approaches, at the level of mathematics and/or computations, as well as state-of-the-art practical results, are expected from manuscripts published in SIIMS. SIIMS is mathematically and computationally based, and offers a unique forum to highlight the commonality of methodology, models, and algorithms among diverse application areas of imaging sciences. SIIMS provides a broad authoritative source for fundamental results in imaging sciences, with a unique combination of mathematics and applications.
SIIMS covers a broad range of areas, including but not limited to image formation, image processing, image analysis, computer graphics, computer vision, visualization, image understanding, pattern analysis, machine intelligence, remote sensing, geoscience, signal processing, medical and biomedical imaging, and seismic imaging. The fundamental mathematical theories addressing imaging problems covered by SIIMS include, but are not limited to, harmonic analysis, partial differential equations, differential geometry, numerical analysis, information theory, learning, optimization, statistics, and probability. Research papers that innovate both in the fundamentals and in the applications are especially welcome. SIIMS focuses on conceptually new ideas, methods, and fundamentals as applied to all aspects of imaging sciences.
