Jyväskylä Inverse Problems Seminar
Jyväskylä Inverse Problems Seminar
The Inverse problems group at the University of Jyväskylä organizes a (roughly) weekly seminar. Please write to giovanni.g.covi@jyu.fi in order to be added to the newsletter, and never miss a seminar again!
Inverse problems are a branch of mathematics with both pure and applied aspects. In physics, engineering and other sciences, the focus usually lies in inferring effects from causes, i.e. in solving a so-called forward problem. What is inverted in an inverse problem is the causality: When we consider an inverse problem, we start with partial knowledge of the result (and perhaps of the causes), and our objective is to infer more about its causes.
The Jyväskylä Inverse Problem Seminar (JIPSem) is a series of lectures organized at the University of Jyväskylä by the Inverse Problems research group.
We discuss mainly pure mathematics. Examples include geometric inverse problems, inverse problems for PDEs, X-ray and electrical impedance tomography, and many more. Read more about our research at this webpage.
Besides our own members, we often host visiting scholars as speakers.
Time & Location: Tuesday, 3 March at 14:00, room MaD245
Speaker: Eetu Satukangas
Title: Energy estimates of ray transforms
Abstract: The injectivity of ray transforms can be studied via energy estimates which are named after Pestov. I will give an overview on the energy estimates on Riemannian manifolds with boundary and show how one can use these estimates under some assumptions on the geometry to prove an injectivity result for ray transforms.
