Hybrid inverse problems, Lecture 2
Several coupled-physics modalities, such as Photo-acoustic tomography or Transient elastography, have been proposed and analyzed recently to obtain high contrast, high resolution, reconstructions of constitutive properties of tissues. These inverse problems, called hybrid, coupled-physics, or multi-wave inverse problems, typically involve two steps. The first step is an inverse boundary value problem, which provides internal information about the parameters. The second step, called the quantitative step, aims to reconstruct the parameters from the knowledge of the internal information obtained during the first step. These lectures will review several recent results of uniqueness, stability, and explicit reconstruction procedures obtained for the second step.
