It is currently intensely researched since it is very precise and with no side effects for humans, as it uses non-ionising red and infrared light. Mathematically, FOT can be modelled as an inverse parameter identification problem, associated with a coupled elliptic system with Robin boundary conditions. Herein we utilise novel methods of Calculus of Variations in $L^\\infty$ to lay the mathematical foundations of FOT which we pose as a PDE-constrained minimisation problem in $L^p$ and $L^\\infty$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-12-26T14:06:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "inverse optical tomography", "pde constrained optimisation", "inverse parameter identification problem", "utilise novel methods", "wider industrial applications" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 27, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
