First MaPhySto Workshop on Inverse Problems

Inverse Problems in Stratified Media

22-24 April, 1999

Auditorium D2, Department of Mathematical Sciences
University of Aarhus

This workshop was the first in a series to be organized by MaPhySto. The workshop brought together researchers with varied backgrounds, with a common interest in inverse problems relating to stratified media. There were series of lectures on both theory and applications.

Invited speakers

E. Clévédé (Département de Sismologie, Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris): Global scale seismic tomography.

V. Enss (Institut für Reine und Angewandte Mathematik, RWTH Aachen): Geometrical Approach to Inverse Scattering (jointly with W. Jung)

The Schrödinger Equation -- Non-relativistic and Relativistic.
The Klein-Gordon Equation.

A. Nachman (Department of Mathematics, University of Rochester):

The Dirichlet-to-Neumann map and its connections to Inverse Scattering and Inverse Spectral problems.
An exact,non-iterative inversion method.

J. Ralston (Department of Mathematics, UCLA): Inverse scattering problems in stratified media.

D. Sinoquet (Institut Francais du Petrole, Rueil-Malmaison): Seismic reflection tomography for 3D complex geologic structures.

M. Thompson (Astronomy Unit, School of Mathematical Sciences, Queen Mary and Westfield College): Helioseismology: inferring the structure and dynamics of the inside of the Sun.

P. Weidelt (Institute of Geophysics and Meteorology, Technical University of Braunschweig):

The 1D-inverse problem of magnetotellurics: A training site for mathematical physicists.
Construction of bounds for spatial averages of electrical conductivity.

Organizers

The organizing committee consisted of Jean-Claude Guillot (Université Paris-Nord), Jens Ledet Jensen (Aarhus), Arne Jensen, (Aalborg) and Bo Holm-Jacobsen (Aarhus).
