An efficient mollifier method for three-dimensional vector tomography: Convergence analysis and implementation (Q2747522)

The author presents a method for the three-dimensional vector tomography problem, which is on the one hand quite efficient and on the other hand suitable for reconstructing both the curl of the field \(\nabla\times f\) as well as the solenoidal part of the field itself. The method of approximate inverse is modified for vector fields and applied to this type of problem, leading to an efficient solver of filtered back projection type. The convergence of the reconstructed solution is also given, if the number of data tends to infinity, which implies the method is exact. Finally, numerical results are presented for a straight flow through a cylinder.
