In positron emission tomography (PET), data is collected via the detection of photons emitted by a radioactive tracer within the subject. The noise in PET data is Poisson, and hence, it is typical to reconstruct the tracer density distribution via the computation of an approximate minimizer of the negative-log Poisson likelihood function. In this paper, we present an iterative method for the so...

In many infeasible linear programs it is important to construct it to a feasible problem with a minimum pa-rameters changing corresponding to a given nonnegative vector. This paper defines a new inverse problem, called “inverse feasible problem”. For a given infeasible polyhedron and an n-vector a minimum perturba-tion on the parameters can be applied and then a feasible polyhedron is concluded.

This paper deals with an inverse problem of determining a nonlinear source term in a quasilinear diffusion equation with overposed final observations. Applying integral identity methods, data compatibilities are deduced by which the inverse source problem here is proved to be reasonable and solvable. Furthermore, with the aid of an integral identity that connects the unknown source terms with t...

in this paper, a numerical solution of an inverse non-dimensional heat conduction problem by spline method will be considered. the given heat conduction equation, the boundary condition, and the initial condition are presented in a dimensionless form. a set of temperature measurements at a single sensor location inside the heat conduction body is required. the result show that the proposed meth...

 Abstract: This study deals with modeling of heat flux at the external surface of combustion chamber wall in an internal combustion (IC) engine as a function of crank angle. This investigation results in an inverse heat conduction problem in the cylinder wall. Alifanov regularization method is used for solving this inverse problem. This problem study as an optimization problem in which a square...
