Review text

This paper is concerned with a discrete model for the propagation of radiation in the interior of bodies that diffuse and scatter radiation. The authors show that by a suitable change of variables the external measurements for the diffuse tomography model become convex functions defined on a convex domain. They also discuss some of the algorithmic implications of such a convexity result in designing efficient solution methods for the inverse problem.
