LAIP 2015 - Symposium on Latest Advances in Inverse Problem and its Application to Science and Engineering

The inverse problem seeks for the source given a response. It has always been an important step in numerically addressing many physical problems and in forming optimal solutions towards practical applications. However, it is a notoriously difficult problem to solve as the kernel functional is usually ill-behaviored to be accurately inverted. A better solution towards inverse models will benefit our society by lending new insights and introducing more efficient solutions to realistic world of both scientific and technical interests. 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 across the world who are from different fields yet share the joint interest on tackling the inverse problem. It strives to provide a chance to exchange newest ideas and thoughts among researchers on a broad range of problems.
Researchers are invited to submit original unpublished work to present them in the symposium. The topics of interest include, but not restricted to, the followings
New developments in the underlying mathematical theories and the more advanced computational methods/algorithms of inverse problem
Global optimization approaches and regularization techniques related to inverse problem
Analytic continuation problem and spectral function estimation from different types of response functions
Inverse problem in experimental measurements
Image reconstruction for a variety of medical scanning techniques
