The transform considered in the paper integrates a function supported in the unit disk on the plane over all circles centered at the boundary of this disk. Such circular Radon transform arises in several contemporary imaging techniques, as…
We study the geodesics on an invariant surface of a three dimensional Riemannian manifold. The main results are: the characterization of geodesic orbits; a Clairaut's relation and its geometric interpretation in some remarkable three…
First, we review existing attenuation models and discuss their causality properties, which we believe to be essential for algorithms for inversion with attenuated data. Then, we survey causality properties of common attenuation models. We…
In this paper, we derive explicit reconstruction formulas for two common measurement geometries: a plane and a sphere. The problem is formulated as inverting the forward operator $R^a$, which maps the initial source to the measured wave…
Integral geometry deals with those integral transforms which associate to ``functions'' on a manifold their integrals along submanifolds parameterized by another manifold. Basic problems in this context are range characterization--where…
We establish an equivalence principle between the solenoidal injectivity of the geodesic ray transform acting on symmetric $m$-tensors and the existence of invariant distributions or smooth first integrals with prescribed projection over…
New simple proofs are given to some elementary approximate and explicit inversion formulas for Riesz potentials. The results are applied to reconstruction of functions from their integrals over Euclidean planes in integral geometry.
The significance of the broken ray transform (BRT) is due to its occurrence in a number of modalities spanning optical, x-ray, and nuclear imaging. When data are indexed by the scatter location, the BRT is both linear and shift invariant.…
We show that the existence of a function in $L^{1}$ with constant geodesic X-ray transform imposes geometrical restrictions on the manifold. The boundary of the manifold has to be umbilical and in the case of a strictly convex Euclidean…
Let $G\subset \C P^n$ be a linearly convex compact with smooth boundary, $D={\C}P^n\setminus G$, and let $D^* \subset (\C P^n)^*$ be the dual domain. Then for an algebraic, not necessarily reduced, complete intersection subvariety $V$ of…
The X-ray of a permutation is defined as the sequence of antidiagonal sums in the associated permutation matrix. X-rays of permutation are interesting in the context of Discrete Tomography since many types of integral matrices can be…
In this paper, we investigate the relations between the Radon and weighted divergent beam and cone transforms. Novel inversion formulas are derived for the latter two. The weighted cone transform arises, for instance, in image…
We derive new singular value decompositions and range characterizations for the X-ray transform on the Poincar\'e disk, intertwining relations with distinguished differential operators of wedge type, and a surjectivity result for the…
An explicit form for the geodesic equations that would describe diffracted light rays is obtained and the Levi-Civita connection that enters into it is shown to be a sum of contributions from the metric of the ambient space, the index of…
We present a family of closed form inversion formulas in thermoacoustic tomography in the case of a constant sound speed. The formulas are presented in both time-domain and frequency-domain versions. As special cases, they imply most of the…
Attosecond x-ray pulses offer unprecedented opportunities for probing and triggering new types of ultrafast motion. At the same time, pulse characterization of x-rays presents new challenges that do not exist in the UV regime. Inner-shell…
Structural seismic interpretation and quantitative characterization are historically intertwined processes. The latter provides estimates of properties of the subsurface which can be used to aid structural interpretation alongside the…

Attenuated Radon projections with respect to the weight function $W_\mu(x,y) = (1-x^2-y^2)^{\mu-1/2}$ are shown to be closely related to the orthogonal expansion in two variables with respect to $W_\mu$. This leads to an algorithm for…
Starting from well-known absolute instruments for perfect imaging, we introduce a type of rotational-symmetrical compact closed manifolds, namely geodesic lenses. We demonstrate that light rays confined on geodesic lenses are closed…
