Inversion of a restricted transverse ray transform with sources on a curve

Rohit Kumar Mishra, Chandni Thakkar

Abstract

In this paper, a restricted transverse ray transform acting on vector and symmetric $m$-tensor fields is studied. We developed inversion algorithms using restricted transverse ray transform data to recover symmetric $m$-tensor fields in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and vector fields in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We restrict the transverse ray transform to all lines going through a fixed curve $γ$ that satisfies the Kirillov-Tuy condition. We show that the known restricted data can be used to reconstruct a specific weighted Radon transform of the unknown vector/tensor field's components, which we then use to explicitly recover the unknown field.

Key Result

Theorem 1

Let $f$ be a symmetric $m$-tensor field in $\mathbb{R}^3$, which is supported in $B \subset \mathbb{R}^3$. Assume that a curve $\gamma \subset \mathbb{R}^3$, satisfying the Kirillov-Tuy condition of order $m$, encompasses $B$ and the transverse ray transform $\mathcal{T}_i f$, for $i = 0, \dots, m$
