Quantitative Photoacoustic tomography (QPAT) is an emerging medical imaging modality which offers the possibility of combining the high resolution of the acoustic waves and large contrast of optical waves by quantifying the molecular concentration in biological tissue.In this paper, we prove properties of the forward operator that associate optical parameters from measurements of a reconstructed Photoacoustic image. This is often referred to as the optical inverse problem, that is nonlinear and ill-posed. The proved properties of the forward operator provide sufficient conditions to show regularized properties of approximated solutions obtained by Tikhonov-type approaches. The proposed Tikhonov-type approaches analyzed in this contribution are concerned with physical and numerical issues as well as with a priori information on the smoothness of the optical coefficients for with (PAT) is particularly a well-suited imaging modality.
We study a dynamical thin shallow shell whose elastic deformations are described by a nonlinear system of Marguerre-Vlasov's type under the presence of thermal effects. Our main result is the proof of a global existence and uniqueness of a weak solution in the case of clamped boundary conditions. Standard techniques for uniqueness do not work directly in this case. We overcame this difficulty using recent work due to
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
