We introduce non-stationary Matérn field priors with stochastic partial differential equations, and construct correlation length-scaling with hyperpriors. We model both the hyperprior and the Matérn prior as continuous-parameter random fields. As hypermodels, we use Cauchy and Gaussian random fields, which we map suitably to a desired correlation length-scaling range. For computations, we discretise the models with finite difference methods. We consider the convergence of the discretised prior and posterior to the discretisation limit. We apply the developed methodology to certain interpolation, numerical differentiation and deconvolution problems, and show numerically that we can make Bayesian inversion which promotes competing constraints of smoothness and edge-preservation. For computing the conditional mean estimator of the posterior distribution, we use a combination of Gibbs and Metropolis-within-Gibbs sampling algorithms.
We study inverse boundary problems for one dimensional linear integro-differential equation of the Gurtin-Pipkin type with the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map as the inverse data. Under natural conditions on the kernel of the integral operator, we give the explicit formula for the solution of the problem with the observation on the semiaxis t>0. For the observation on finite time interval, we prove the uniqueness result, which is similar to the local Borg-Marchenko theorem for the Schrödinger equation.
We consider the inverse problem in magnetostatics for recovering the moment of a planar magnetization from measurements of the normal component of the magnetic field at a distance from the support. Such issues arise in studies of magnetic material in general and in paleomagnetism in particular. Assuming the magnetization is a measure with L2-density, we construct linear forms to be applied on the data in order to estimate the moment. These forms are obtained as solutions to certain extremal problems in Sobolev classes of functions, and their computation reduces to solving an elliptic differential-integral equation, for which synthetic numerical experiments are presented.
The Sturm-Liouville operator with singular potentials on the lasso graph is considered. We suppose that the potential is known a priori on the boundary edge, and recover the potential on the loop from a part of the spectrum and some additional data. We prove the uniqueness theorem and provide a constructive algorithm for the solution of this partial inverse problem.

In inclusion detection in electrical impedance tomography, the support of perturbations (inclusion) from a known background conductivity is typically reconstructed from idealized continuum data modelled by a Neumann-to-Dirichlet map. Only few reconstruction methods apply when detecting indefinite inclusions, where the conductivity distribution has both more and less conductive parts relative to the background conductivity; one such method is the monotonicity method of Harrach, Seo, and Ullrich [
In this article, we introduce a novel variational model for the restoration of images corrupted by multiplicative Gamma noise. The model incorporates a convex data-fidelity term with a nonconvex version of the total generalized variation (TGV). In addition, we adopt a spatially adaptive regularization parameter (SARP) approach. The nonconvex TGV regularization enables the efficient denoising of smooth regions, without staircasing artifacts that appear on total variation regularization-based models, and edges and details to be conserved. Moreover, the SARP approach further helps preserve fine structures and textures. To deal with the nonconvex regularization, we utilize an iteratively reweighted
The unique determination of a measurable conductivity from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map of the equation
We consider an inverse scattering problem of recovering the unknown coefficients of quasi-linearly perturbed biharmonic operator on the line. These unknown complex-valued coefficients are assumed to satisfy some regularity conditions on their nonlinearity, but they can be discontinuous or singular in their space variable. We prove that the inverse Born approximation can be used to recover some essential information about the unknown coefficients from the knowledge of the reflection coefficient. This information is the jump discontinuities and the local singularities of the coefficients.
In this paper, we consider the inverse problem of determining the location and the shape of a sound-soft obstacle from the modulus of the far-field data for a single incident plane wave. By adding a reference ball artificially to the inverse scattering system, we propose a system of nonlinear integral equations based iterative scheme to reconstruct both the location and the shape of the obstacle. The reference ball technique causes few extra computational costs, but breaks the translation invariance and brings information about the location of the obstacle. Several validating numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed inversion algorithm.

We state sufficient conditions for the uniqueness of minimizers of Tikhonov-type functionals. We further explore a connection between such results and the well-posedness of Morozov-like discrepancy principle. Moreover, we find appropriate conditions to apply such results to the local volatility surface calibration problem.
