Abstract

Inverse problems often consist in finding a physical quantity (density, diffusivity, conductivity) defined in a certain domain (‘support’). The determination of a solution always requires a mathematical modelling of the corresponding (source or parameter) functions and domains involved. This process can be understood as a certain manner of probing or sounding. In this meaning ‘sounding’ can be directed to the approximation of one or several function values, e.g. by means of the known Backus-Gilbert method, but it is also done by the decomposition procedures to be considered here.
