Review text

This 19-page, computation-oriented paper consists of very practical generalizations of the well-known maximum entropy method (MEM) to formulate, study and apply certain sign-altering functions and functionals. There are naturally some definite deviations from the standard approach, but the authors exhibit considerable skill in developing the new MEM for the reconstruction of mathematical functions from the data obtained from tomographic measurements. The idea of seeking solutions to image problems from undetermined projection details is ably exploited keeping in mind the wide applicability of MEM to several fields of great importance: astronomies, scattering experiments, classical moment problems, solution of integral equations, image processing reconstructions, crystallography, plasma physics, tomographies, cosmic plasmas, etc. The problem of MEM inversion for sign-altering functions with a parallel beam geometry as also the fan beam geometry are separately treated at length. Out of 12 figures, in 11 of them illustrative explicit graphs are given depicting the computer simulation data. Suitable time-dependent models are carefully chosen and typical relaxation technique is employed for actual implementation of iterations. Errors of reconstruction against the number of interactions are also presented.
