Finding singular support of a function from its tomographic data (Q1898262)

The authors develop three different approaches to the problem of finding the discontinuity surface \(S\) of a function \(f(x)\) from its tomographic data: i) pseudolocal tomography, introduced by the authors, produces \(S\) and the jumps of \(f\) across \(S\) from pseudolocal tomographic data; ii) local tomography, introduced in the literature and further generalized by one of the authors, produces \(S\) from local data. A method is proposed for finding jumps of \(f\) across \(S\). This method is based on the analysis of pseudodifferential operators acting on piecewise smooth functions; and iii) geometric tomography, introduced by one of the authors and A. Zaslavsky, produces \(S\) from \(\widehat {s}\), a dual variety with respect to \(S\), which happens to be the singular support of \(\widehat {f} (\theta, p)\).
