The inverse problem seeks for the source given a response. It forms a very important step in many physical problems and towards practical applications. However, it is a notoriously difficult problem as the kernel function to be inverted is usually ill-conditioned. A better solution towards inverse models will benefit our society by gaining an insight into interpreting and solving important real physical problems.
This symposium focuses on a specific aspect of the cross-disciplinary inverse problem with an emphasis on the development and application of new methods towards physical science research and engineering. It aims at bringing together scholars all over the world who are from different fields yet have a joint interest on the inverse problem, and providing a chance to exchange newest ideas and thoughts to deal with this generic problem better.
Researchers are invited to submit original unpublished work.
The topics of interest include, but not restricted to, the followings
New developments in analytic theories and computational methods/algorithms of inverse problem
Global optimization approaches and regularization techniques related to inverse problem
Analytic continuation problem and spectral function extraction
Inverse problem in experimental measurements
Image reconstruction for a variety of medical scanning techniques
Inverse scattering and partial differential equations
