Abstract

We consider a class of weighted plane generalized Radon transforms Rf(γ)=∫f(x,u(ξ,η,x))m(ξ,η,x) dx, where the curve γ=γ (ξ,η) is defined by y=u(ξ,η,x), and m(ξ,η,x) is a given positive weight function. We prove local injectivity for this transform across a given curve γ 0 near a given point (x 0,y 0) on γ 0 for classes of curves and weight functions that are invariant under arbitrary smooth coordinate transformations in the plane.
