(1) Suppose $\mu$ is a smooth measure on a hypersurface of positive Gaussian curvature in $\R^{2n}$. If $n\ge 2$, then $W(\mu)$, the Weyl transform of $\mu$, is a compact operator, and if $p>n\ge 6$ then $W(\mu)$ belongs to the $p$-Schatten…

We study the perturbation of a measure $\mu \in \mathscr{P}(\mathbb{R})$ consisting in superposing two copies of $\mu$, each slightly shifted by a small distance $\pm h$. The difference between $\mu$ and its perturbation is measured with a…

Nonlinearity parameter tomography leads to the problem of identifying a coefficient in a nonlinear wave equation (such as the Westervelt equation) modeling ultrasound propagation. In this paper we transfer this into frequency domain, where…

We are concerned with an harmonic analysis in Hilbert spaces $L^2(\mu)$, where $\mu$ is a probability measure on $\br^n$. The unifying question is the presence of families of orthogonal (complex) exponentials $e_\lambda(x) = \exp(2\pi i…

A long-standing open problem in harmonic analysis is: given a non-negative measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb R$, find the infimal width of frequencies needed to approximate any function in $L^2(\mu)$. We consider this problem in the "perturbative…

The paper formulates Bayesian inverse problems for inference in a topological measure space given noisy observations. Conditions for the validity of the Bayes formula and the well-posedness of the posterior measure are studied. The abstract…

We consider the ultrasound imaging problem governed by a nonlinear wave equation of Westervelt type with variable wave speed. We show that the coefficient of nonlinearity can be recovered uniquely from knowledge of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann…
