The Radon transform, which represents the scattering data arising from a tomographic scan, underpins the mathematical foundations of medical imaging. This book surveys the mathematics behind some well-established imaging modalities such as X-ray CT and emission tomography, as well as a variety of newly developing coupled physics or hybrid techniques, including thermoacoustic tomography. Presented in this treatment are explanations of important concepts such as inversion, stability, incomplete data effects, the role of interior information, and other critical issues. In addition to emphasising...

This is the second of two volumes dedicated to the centennial of the distinguished mathematician Selim Grigorievich Krein. The companion volume is Contemporary Mathematics, Volume 733. Krein was a major contributor to functional analysis, operator theory, partial differential equations, fluid dynamics, and other areas, and the author of several influential monographs in these areas. He was a prolific teacher, graduating 83 Ph.D. students. Krein also created and ran, for many years, the annual Voronezh Winter Mathematical Schools, which significantly influenced mathematical life in the...

A "quantum graph" is a graph considered as a one-dimensional complex and equipped with a differential operator ("Hamiltonian"). Quantum graphs arise naturally as simplified models in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering when one considers propagation of waves of various nature through a quasi-one-dimensional (e.g., "meso-" or "nano-scale") system that looks like a thin neighborhood of a graph. Works that currently would be classified as discussing quantum graphs have been appearing since at least the 1930s, and since then, quantum graphs techniques have been applied successfully...

Over the course of his distinguished career, Vladimir Maz'ya has made a number of groundbreaking contributions to numerous areas of mathematics, including partial differential equations, function theory, and harmonic analysis. The chapters in this volume - compiled on the occasion of his 80th birthday - are written by distinguished mathematicians and pay tribute to his many significant and lasting achievements.
