Abstract

We implement the torus-based X-ray tomography method introduced by Ilmavirta, Koskela, and Railo in "Torus computed tomography", SIAM J. Appl. Math., 80(4):1947--1976, 2020, for experimental X-ray tomographic data. The numerical implementation is extended to accommodate fan-beam measurements by converting the data to a parallel-beam format and mapping the projection angles to the closed-geodesic directions on the torus. In addition, we consider two extensions of the original framework: the Star TCT method which extends the frequency coverage of the reconstruction, and a numerical implementation of torus backprojection developed by Railo in "Fourier analysis of periodic Radon transforms", J. Fourier Anal. Appl., 26(4):64, 2020, for which we also derive a corresponding regularized formulation. We demonstrate the methods on experimental X-ray data of a walnut and compare them with filtered backprojection. We also introduce a pointwise positivity constraint as a post-processing step, which substantially improves the reconstruction accuracy. The simulated data experiments are revisited using an updated implementation. The results indicate that the proposed extensions improve reconstruction quality and support the applicability of torus-based reconstruction methods to experimental data.

Fully spectral scheme for the linear BGK equation on the whole space

In this article, we design a fully spectral method in both space and velocity for a linear inhomogeneous kinetic equation with mass, momentum and energy conservation. We focus on the linear BGK equation with a confinement potential $Φ$, even if the method could be applied to different collision operators. It is based upon the projection on Hermite polynomials in velocity and orthonormal polynomials with respect to the weight $e^{-$Φ$}$ in space. The potential $Φ$ is assumed to be a polynomial. It is, to the author's knowledge, the first scheme which preserves hypocoercive behavior in addition to the conservation laws. These different properties are illustrated numerically on both quadratic and double well potential.

Inverse inequalities for kernel-based approximation on bounded domains and Riemannian manifolds

This paper establishes inverse inequalities for kernel-based approximation spaces defined on bounded Lipschitz domains in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and compact Riemannian manifolds. While inverse inequalities are well-studied for polynomial spaces, their extension to kernel-based trial spaces poses significant challenges. For bounded Lipschitz domains, we extend prior Bernstein inequalities, which only apply to a limited range of Sobolev orders, to the full range of lower and upper orders, and derive Nikolskii inequalities that bound $L_\infty$ norms by $L_2$ norms. For compact Riemannian manifolds, we focus on restricted kernels, which are defined as the restriction of positive definite kernels from the ambient Euclidean space to the manifold, and prove their counterparts.

Error Estimates for Hyperbolic Scaling Limits of Linear Kinetic Models on Networks

This paper studies linear discrete kinetic models on networks and their asymptotic behavior in the small Knudsen number limit. For coupling conditions at an n-edge junction under a symmetric formulation, we introduce a change of variables that reformulates the system into n independent initial-boundary value problems. The asymptotic expansions are then constructed and rigorously justified by deriving an error estimate based on the energy method.
