added the inverse tag, since there seems to be no inverse problems tag; also fiex latex code

Oct 21, 2012 at 17:01 comment added Nick Alger The Radon transform smooths $H^s \mapsto H^{s+1/2}$, with eigenvalues $\lambda_i \rightarrow 0$ corresponding to increasingly oscillatory eigenvectors. If you add white noise to a radon transformed image then try to invert it, the $i'th$ components of the noise will be amplified by $1/\lambda_i$, which can be arbitrarily large. To overcome this one usually needs regularization or a prior, depending on whether you take a deterministic or probabilistic approach to the problem. The $1/2$ power smoothing is pretty weak compared to other problems. I don't know any more specifics.
Oct 21, 2012 at 13:16 comment added Appliqué Thank you Nick Alger, but can you be more exact please? I listened to a course on computer tomography (with applictions in medicine) and in this course we were speaking about reconstruction of function by incomplete data of another character: we know only integrals over any linear manifold, that doesn't intersect some convex body (Cormack-type theorems (1963-1964)).
Oct 21, 2012 at 10:21 comment added Nick Alger This is well studied in the mathematics of medical imaging, you might look around there. The Radon transform is a smoothing operator with the degree of smoothing being exactly $1/2$ of a derivative, so inversion is mildly ill-posed.
