Spherical Means in Odd Dimensions and Epd Equations
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper contains a simple proof of the Finch-PatchRakesh inversion formula for the spherical mean Radon transform in odd dimensions. This transform arises in thermoacoustic tomography. Applications are given to the Cauchy problem for the Euler-Poisson-Darboux equation with initial data on the cylindrical surface. The argument relies on the idea of analytic continuation and known properties of Erdélyi-Kober fractional integrals.

The Fourier Transform and the Wave Equation
We solve the Cauchy problem for the n-dimensional wave equation, where n is an odd integer, using elementary properties of the Fourier transform. We also show that the solution can be obtained by invoking Bessel functions. The wave equation has a rich history fraught with controversy, both mathematical, see [9], and physical, see [16]. It all started in 1747 when d’Alembert, in a memoir present...
متن کاملImproved approaches for investigation of small spherical designs
We strengthen previously applied polynomial techniques for investigation of spherical designs to obtain new bounds on inner products in some class of designs. This allows further improvements on the best known lower bounds for the minimum possible odd cardinality of designs of odd strength either in small dimensions and in certain asymptotic process.

1 Abstract The Bargmann-Wigner formalism is adapted to spherical surfaces embedded in three to eleven dimensions. This is demonstrated to generate wave equations in spherical space for a variety of antisymmetric tensor fields. Some of these equations are gauge invariant for particular values of parameters characterizing them. For spheres embedded in three, four and five dimensions, this gauge i...
متن کاملRecovering a function from its spherical mean values in two and three dimensions
The problem of determining a function from a subset of its spherical means has a rich history in pure and applied mathematics. Its connection with photoacoustic imaging has already been made abundantly clear in earlier chapters in this volume: when the sound speed νs in a medium is constant the pressure at time t and point r is expressed in terms of spherical means of the pressure, and its time...
متن کاملDynamic Coupled Thermo-Viscoelasticity of a Spherical Hollow Domain
The generalized coupled thermo-viscoelasticity of hollow sphere subjected to thermal symmetric shock load is presented in this paper. To overcome the infinite speed of thermal wave propagation, the Lord-Shulman theory is considered. Two coupled equations, namely, the radial equation of motion and the energy equation of a hollow sphere are obtained in dimensionless form. Resulting equations are ...
