New approximate inverse results for the attenuated Radon transform with complex-valued coefficients

In this paper, the smooth properties of the attenuated Radon transform with complex-valued coefficients are proved by means of a complex method. Furthermore a new reconstruction formula and an algorithm are obtained based on the framework of Sobolev spaces, Gaussian mollifier, the method of the approximate inverse, etc.     

The inversion problem and applications of the generalized radon transform

We prove that under certain conditions the inversion problem for the generalized Radon transform reduces to solving a Fredholm integral equation and we obtain the asymptotic expansion of the symbol of the integral operator in this equation. We consider applications of the generalized Radon transform to partial differential equations with variable coefficients and provide a solution to the inversion problem for the attenuated and exponential Radon transforms.     

On inversion and Sobolev estimate results about the weighted Radon transform

In this paper, we derive an inversion of the weighted Radon transform by Fourier transform, Riesz potential, and integral transform. We extend results of Rigaud and Lakhal to the n‐dimensional Euclidean space. Furthermore, we obtain some properties of the weighted Radon transform. Finally, we develop some estimate results of the weighted Radon transform under Sobolev space.     

The paley-wiener theorem for the radon transform

We prove that the support of a complex-valued function f in ?^k is contained in a convex set K if and only if the support of its Radon transform k(s, ω) is, for each ω, contained in s ≦ S_K (ω); here S_K is the support function of the set K. This theorem is used to determine the propagation speeds of hyperbolic differential equations with constant coefficients, to prove the nonexistence of point spectrum for a certain class of partial differential operators, and to give a simple reduction of Lions' convolution theorem to the one-dimensional convolution theorem of Titchmarsh.

A one‐dimensional Radon transform on SO(3) and its application to texture goniometry

We consider a one‐dimensional Radon transform on the group SO (3), which is motivated by texture goniometry. In particular, we will derive several inversion formulae and compare them with the inversion of the one‐dimensional spherical Radon transform on ??³ for even functions.

Inverse Backscattering Problem for the Acoustic Equation in Even Dimensions

We show that the sound speedc(x) of the acoustic wave equation in any even dimension can be uniquely determined by the backscattering data provided that it is close to a constant. In the three-dimensional case, P. Stefanov and G. Uhlmann (SIAM J. Math. Anal.28,1997, 1191–1204) have proved a similar result. Their method takes advantage of the inversion formula for the Radon transform in odd dimensions being a local operator. This is not true in even dimensions. Moreover, the odd-dimensional Lax and Phillips modified Radon transform fails to work in even dimensions. In this paper, we overcome these difficulties and prove an even-dimensional version of Stefanov and Uhlmann's result.     

Injectivity of rotation invariant windowed Radon transforms

We consider rotation invariant windowed Radon transforms that integrate a function over hyperplanes by using a radial weight (called window). T. Quinto proved their injectivity for square integrable functions of compact support. This cannot be extended in general. Actually, when the Laplace transform of the window has a zero with positive real part δ, the windowed Radon transform is not injective on functions with a Gaussian decay at infinity, depending on δ. Nevertheless, we give conditions on the window that imply injectivity of the windowed Radon transform on functions with a more rapid decay than any Gaussian function.     

Distances between measures from 1-dimensional projections as implied by continuity of the inverse radon transform

Summary Distances between measures on IR ^d are determined from distances between their 1-dimensional projections. The method employed involves considering the 1-dimensional projections to be the Radon transform of the measures. Crucial to the main theorem is a continuity result for the inverse Radon transform. Focus is restricted to the Prohorov, dual bounded Lipschitz and d _k metrics which metrize weak convergence of probability measures. These metrics are related to each other and to the Sobolev norms. The d _k results extend from measures to generalized functions.Partially supported by NSF Grant No. MCS-81-01895Partially supported by NSF Grant No. MCS-82-01627 and support from the Mellon Foundation     

Novikov’s inversion formula for the attenuated Radon transform—A new approach

We study the inversion of weighted Radon transforms in two dimensions, R_ρƒ(L)=ƒ_L =ƒ(·), where the weight function ρ(L, x), L a line and x ∈ L, has a special form. It was an important breakthrough when R.G. Novikov recently gave an explicit formula for the inverse of R_ρ when ρ has the form(1.2); in this case R_ρ is called the attenuated Radon transform. Here we prove similar results for a somewhat larger class of ρ using completely different and quite elementary methods.     

Biorthogonal decompositions of the Radon transform by multivariate interpolation

The concept of biorthogonal and singular value decompositions is a valuable tool in the examination of ill-posed inverse problems such as the inversion of the Radon transform. By application of the theory of multivariate interpolation, e. g. the set of Lagrange polynomials with respect to the space of homogeneous spherical polynomials, we determine new biorthogonal decompositions of the Radon transform. We consider the case of functions with support in the unit ball and the case of functions with support ?^r. In both cases we assume that the functions are square integrable with respect to some weight functions. In the important special case of square integrable functions with respect to the unit ball the structure of the biorthogonal decompositions is easier in comparison with the known singular and biorthogonal decompositions. Especially the calculation of the unknown expansion coefficients can be done by using arbitrary fundamental systems (μ-resolving data set in terms of tomography with a minimum number of nodes) and simplifies essentially. The decompositions are based on a system of zonal (ridge) Gegenbauer (ultraspherical) polynomials which are used in the theory of the Radon transform and in the field of numerical algorithms for the inversion of the transform.     

A characterization of inverse Radon transform on the Laguerre hypergroup

Let K=[0,∞)×R be the Laguerre hypergroup which is the fundamental manifold of the radial function space for the Heisenberg group. In this note we give another characterization for a subspace of S(K) (Schwartz space) such that the Radon transform Rα on K is a bijection. We show that this characterization is equivalent to that in [M.M. Nessibi, K. Trimèche, Inversion of the Radon transform on the Laguerre hypergroup by using generalized wavelets, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 208 (1997) 337-363]. In addition, we establish an inversion formula of the Radon transform Rα in the weak sense.     

Diophantine Integral Geometry

In his works [1], [2] and [3], the author succeeded in establishing several inversion formulas for Radon transform on Euclidean space, Damek-Ricci space and also on a finite set. The present paper deals with Radon transform R on discrete hyperplanes in the lattice defined by linear diophantine equations. More precisely, we study carefully various natural questions in this context: specific properties of the discrete Radon transform R and its dual R*, inversion formula for R (see Theorem 4.1) and also an appropriate support theorem in the discrete case (see Theorem 5.3).      

A singular value decomposition for the radon transform in n-dimensional euclidean space

We construct the singular value decomposition of the Radon transform when the Radon transform is restricted to functions which are either square integrable on the unit disc in IR ⁿ with respect to one of the weights (1-r ²)^n/2-λ: or square integrable on IR ⁿ with respect to exp(r ²). An application to calculating mollifiers for approximate inversion of the sampled Radon transform is discussed.     

Invariant differential operators and the range of the matrix Radon transform

Mixed norm estimate for Radon transform on weighted <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript> spaces

We will discuss about the mapping property of Radon transform on L ^p spaces with power weight. It will be shown that the Pitt’s inequality together with the weighted version of Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev lemma imply weighted inequality for the Radon transform.     

Une interprétation cohomologique de la condition de Radon—Cavalieri

In this Note, we apply the methods of integral transforms for sheaves and D-modules to the study of the real affine Radon transform. Classically, the “Cavalieri condition” is obtained using the inversion formula for the Fourier transform. Our approach is different and shows how this condition, which is related to the complex projective Radon transform, is of a geometrical (or cohomological) nature.Note présentée par Jean-Michel Bony.     

Inversion of the Weyl integral transform and the radon transform on Rn using generalized wavelets

We invert the Weyl integral transform by means of a generalized continuous wavelet transform on the half line associated with the Bessel operatorL , >–1/2. Next, we use the connection between radial classical wavelets onR ⁿ and generalized wavelets associated with the Bessel operatorL( _n–2)/2 to derive new inversion formulas for the Radon transform onR ⁿ ,n2.     

A new proof of the support theorem and the range characterization for the Radon transform

The aim of this note is to give a new and elementary proof of the support theorem for the Radon transform, which is based only on the projection theorem and the Paley-Wiener theorem for the Fourier transform. The idea is to solve a certain system of linear equations in order to determine the coefficients of a homogeneous polynomial (interpolation problem). By the same method, we get a short proof of the range characterization for Radon transforms of functions supported in a ball.
