On a reconstruction formula for spherical Radon transform: a microlocal analytic point of view (Q2260490)

The author studies the restriction \(R\) of the spherical Radon transform to the set of spheres centered on a smooth hypersurface \(S\) in \(\mathbb R^n\) where the spherical Radon transform \(R(f)\) is defined by the formula \[ R(f)(z,r)=\int_{B_r(z)} f(y) d\sigma (y),\, (z,r)\in S\times \mathbb R_+. \] He considers the construction of a function \(f\) from \(R(f)\) by a closed-form formula and an oscillatory integral which depends on the observation surface \(S\) as a parameter is also studied.
