Inverse Problems for Partial Differential Equations

the long version

This book is a comprehensive description of the current theoretical and numerical aspects of inverse problems in partial differential equations. Applications include recovery of inclusions from anomalies of their gravity fields, reconstruction of the interior of the human body from exterior electrical, ultrasonic, and magnetic measurement. The reconstruction of the interior structural parameters of machines and of the underground are also discussed together with further scientific and engineering applications. By presenting this data in a readable and informative manner, the book introduces both scientific and engineering researchers and graduate students to significant work done in this area in recent years, relating it to broader themes in mathematical analysis.
