Course description
Following Hadamard, a problem whose solution does not depend continuously on the given data is called ill-posed. Prominent examples are the mathematical problems behind tomographic tools like X-ray tomography, ultrasound tomography or electrical impedance tomography as well as seismic imaging, radar imaging, or inverse scattering. The mathematical models used in this context are typically formulated in terms of integral transforms or differential equations. However the aim is not to evaluate the transform or to solve the differential equation but to invert the transform or to reconstruct parameters of this equation given (part of) its solution, respectively. Therefore these problems are called inverse problems.
Standard methods from numerical mathematics typically fail when they are applied to ill-posed problems - the problem has to be regularized. The first part of the course gives an introduction to the functional analytic background of regularization methods for linear ill-posed problems. All results from functional analysis that are needed will be provided during the lecture. In the second part we consider the problem of transmission computerized tomography (X-ray tomography) in detail.
