Inverse Problems And Applications

Download or read book An Introduction to Inverse Problems with Applications written by Francisco Duarte Moura Neto and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-14 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computational engineering/science uses a blend of applications, mathematical models and computations. Mathematical models require accurate approximations of their parameters, which are often viewed as solutions to inverse problems. Thus, the study of inverse problems is an integral part of computational engineering/science. This book presents several aspects of inverse problems along with needed prerequisite topics in numerical analysis and matrix algebra. If the reader has previously studied these prerequisites, then one can rapidly move to the inverse problems in chapters 4-8 on image restoration, thermal radiation, thermal characterization and heat transfer. “This text does provide a comprehensive introduction to inverse problems and fills a void in the literature”. Robert E White, Professor of Mathematics, North Carolina State University
