After successful completion of the course the student can identify linear ill-posed inverse problems and their severity. Furthermore, the students will be able to analyze and solve such problems with direct and indirect solution methods, identify necessary regularization, is able to implement such methods and work with basic simulated and experimental data.

Topics include: Theory of ill-posed inverse problems, singular value decomposition, Generalized-Inverse and Normal equations, Landweber iterations and Tikhonov regularization, Morozov discrepancy principle. Examples include convolutions, Fourier and Radon transform, corresponding to applications in image processing, X-ray and Magnetic Resonance Tomography. Use of Matlab/Python for implementation.
