Biorthogonal decompositions of the Radon transform

Summary. The concept of singular value decompositions is a valuable tool in the examination of ill-posed inverse problems such as the inversion of the Radon transform. A singular value decomposition depends on the determination of suitable orthogonal systems of eigenfunctions of the operators , . In this paper we consider a new approach which generalizes this concept. By application of biorthogonal instead of orthogonal functions we are able to apply a larger class of function sets in order to account for the structure of the eigenfunction spaces. Although it is preferable to use eigenfunctions it is still possible to consider biorthogonal function systems which are not eigenfunctions of the operator. With respect to the Radon transform for functions with support in the unit ball we apply the system of Appell polynomials which is a natural generalization of the univariate system of Gegenbauer (ultraspherical) polynomials to the multivariate case. The corresponding biorthogonal decompositions show some advantages in comparison with the known singular value decompositions. Vice versa by application of our decompositions we are able to prove new properties of the Appell polynomials. Received October 19, 1993     

A NOTE ON SINGULAR VALUE DECOMPOSITION FOR RADON TRANSFORM IN R~n

The singular value decomposition is derived when the Radon transform is restricted to functions which are square integrable on the unit ball in Rn with respect to the weight Wλ(x). It fulfilles mainly by means of the projection-slice theorem.The range of the Radon transform is spanned by products of Gegenbauer polynomials and spherical harmonics. The inverse transform of the those basis functions are given. This immediately leads to an inversion formula by series expansion and range characterizations.     

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.     

Extensions of some fixed point theorems of Rhoades

The classical Radon transform, R, maps an integrable function in Rⁿ to its integrals over all n ? 1 dimensional hyperplanes, and the exterior Radon transform is the transform R restricted to hyperplanes that do not intersect a given disc. A singular value decomposition for the exterior transform is given for spaces of square integrable functions on the exterior of the disc. This decomposition in orthogonal functions explicitly produces the null space and range of the exterior transform and gives a new method for inverting the transform modulo the null space. A modification of this method is given that will exactly invert functions of compact support. These results generalize theorems of R. M. Perry and the author. A singular value decomposition for the Radon transform that integrates over spheres in Rⁿ containing the origin is also given. This follows from the singular value decomposition for R and yields the null space and a new inversion method for this transform.

On biorthogonal systems associated to orthogonal polynomials

We consider biorthogonal systems of functions associated to derivatives of orthogonal polynomials in the case of general weights. For Freud polynomials, it is proved that the derivatives of any orders of them constitute Hilbertian bases in the space of weighted square integrable functions.     

Valuations on Manifolds and Integral Geometry

We construct new operations of pull-back and push-forward on valuations on manifolds with respect to submersions and immersions. A general Radon-type transform on valuations is introduced using these operations and the product on valuations. It is shown that the classical Radon transform on smooth functions, and the well-known Radon transform on constructible functions, with respect to the Euler characteristic, are special cases of this new Radon transform. An inversion formula for the Radon transform on valuations has been proven in a specific case of real projective spaces. Relations of these operations to yet another classical type of integral geometry, Crofton and kinematic formulas, are indicated.     

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.     

The invertibility of rotation invariant Radon transforms

Let R_μ denote the Radon transform on Rⁿ that integrates a function over hyperplanes in given smooth positive measures μ depending on the hyperplane. We characterize the measures μ for which R_μ is rotation invariant. We prove rotation invariant transforms are all one-to-one and hence invertible on the domain of square integrable functions of compact support, L₀²(Rⁿ). We prove the hole theorem: if f?L₀²Rⁿ and R_μf = 0 for hyperplanes not intersecting a ball centered at the origin, then f is zero outside of that ball. Using the theory of Fourier integral operators, we extend these results to the domain of distributions of compact support on Rⁿ. Our results prove invertibility for a mathematical model of positron emission tomography and imply a hole theorem for the constantly attenuated Radon transform as well as invertibility for other Radon transforms.     

Matrix orthogonal Laurent polynomials on the unit circle and Toda type integrable systems

Matrix orthogonal Laurent polynomials in the unit circle and the theory of Toda-like integrable systems are connected using the Gauss–Borel factorization of two, left and a right, Cantero–Morales–Velázquez block moment matrices, which are constructed using a quasi-definite matrix measure. A block Gauss–Borel factorization problem of these moment matrices leads to two sets of biorthogonal matrix orthogonal Laurent polynomials and matrix Szeg? polynomials, which can be expressed in terms of Schur complements of bordered truncations of the block moment matrix. The corresponding block extension of the Christoffel–Darboux theory is derived. Deformations of the quasi-definite matrix measure leading to integrable systems of Toda type are studied. The integrable theory is given in this matrix scenario; wave and adjoint wave functions, Lax and Zakharov–Shabat equations, bilinear equations and discrete flows — connected with Darboux transformations. We generalize the integrable flows of the Cafasso's matrix extension of the Toeplitz lattice for the Verblunsky coefficients of Szeg? polynomials. An analysis of the Miwa shifts allows for the finding of interesting connections between Christoffel–Darboux kernels and Miwa shifts of the matrix orthogonal Laurent polynomials.     

On some constructive aspects of monogenic function theory in ℝ4

As is well known, a possible generalization to ?⁴ of the classical Cauchy–Riemann system leads to the so‐called Riesz system. The main goal of this paper is to construct explicitly a complete orthonormal system of polynomial solutions of this system with respect to a certain inner product. This will be done in the spaces of square integrable functions on the unit ball over ?. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Inversion of the Kipriyanov–Radon transform via fractional derivatives in a one-dimensional parameter

This paper considers the Kipriyanov–Radon transform constructed as a special Radon transform adopted for dealing with singular Bessel differential operators of the corresponding indices acting on a part of the variables. The authors obtain inversion formulas generalizing the classical formulas for the Radon transform of axially-symmetric functions and relating to the integro-differentiation of fractional order in a one-dimensional parameter.

Orthogonal Newton polynomials

The problem is to determine all nonnegative measures on the Borel subsets of the complex plane with respect to which all polynomials are square integrable and with respect to which the Newton polynomials form an orthogonal set. The Newton polynomials do not belong to any classical scheme of orthogonal polynomials. The discovery that a plane measure exists with respect to which they form an orthogonal set was only recently made by T. L. Kriete and D. Trutt [Amer. J. Math.93 (1971), 215–225]. A general structure theory for such measures is now obtained under hypotheses suggested by the expansion theory of Cesàro operators.

Representable Functions on the Unit Ball of a Banach Space

In this paper we treat the problem of integral representation of analytic functions over the unit ball of a complex Banach space X using the theory of abstract Wiener spaces. We define the class of representable functions on the unit ball of X and prove that this set of functions is related with the classes of integral k–homogeneous polynomials, integral holomorphic functions and also with the set of L ^p –representable functions on a Banach space.     

Arzela-Ascoli's theorem for Riemann-integrable functions on compact spaces

We recall that the ⁿ-valued Riemann integrable functions resp. more general: the Banach space (algebra) -valued Darboux integrable functions — on the compact support of a non negative Radon measure are a Banach space (algebra) with respect to the ess. sup. norm. It is shown that the Darboux integrable functions with a precompact range also form a Banach space (algebra). For this space we deduce a direct analogue of Arzela-Ascoli's theorem.     

Square integrable holomorphic functions on infinite-dimensional Heisenberg type groups

We introduce a class of non-commutative, complex, infinite-dimensional Heisenberg like Lie groups based on an abstract Wiener space. The holomorphic functions which are also square integrable with respect to a heat kernel measure μ on these groups are studied. In particular, we establish a unitary equivalence between the square integrable holomorphic functions and a certain completion of the universal enveloping algebra of the “Lie algebra” of this class of groups. Using quasi-invariance of the heat kernel measure, we also construct a skeleton map which characterizes globally defined functions from the L ²(ν)-closure of holomorphic polynomials by their values on the Cameron–Martin subgroup.     

On Polynomial Approximation of Square Integrable Functions on a Subarc of the Unit Circle

Let E be an arc on the unit circle and let L²(E) be the space of all square integrable functions on E. Using the Banach–Steinhaus Theorem and the weak* compactness of the unit ball in the Hardy space, we study the L² approximation of functions in L²(E) by polynomials. In particular, we will investigate the size of the L² norms of the approximating polynomials in the complementary arc E of E. The key theme of this work is to highlight the fact that the benefit of achieving good approximation for a function over the arc E by polynomials is more than offset by the large norms of such approximating polynomials on the complementary arc E.     

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.
