This book comprises select proceedings of the workshop "Practical inverse problems and their prospects" held online by zoom, from Mar 2nd to Mar. 4th, 2022, supported by Institute of Mathematics for Industry, Kyushu University focusing on cutting-edge research carried out in the areas of practical inverse problems based on industry-academia and interdisciplinary collaborations. Various themes on practical inverse problems covered in this book are medical imaging, non-destructive and non-invasive inspections, viscoelastic waves, remote sensing, infrared light tomography, maintenance of infrastructure, and so on, and mathematical theories in inverse problems are also handled in these proceedings. All papers in this book are written by qualified authors in the practical inverse problems area and also the papers are newly announced. Readers can get leading-edge information on practical inverse problems.

Autorentext

Jin Cheng is Professor at Fudan University. He is one of the leading researchers in Inverse problems. He received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Fudan University. He made many contributions in theoretical and practical inverse problems and is on the editorial baord of the journal "Inverse Problems".

Cheng Hua is a researcher in solid physics, working at Fudan University. He received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Tokyo. He made important contributions on the theory of Rayleigh waves. He is now engaged in developing a new non-destructive inspection technology for concrete structures by application of Rayleigh waves.

Takashi Ohe is Professor at Okayama University of Science. He is a researcher in both inverse problems and numerical analysis.
He received his Ph.D. in Engineering from Osaka University. In the research of some inverse problems, his numeraical analyses led theoretical researches, since his numeraical analyses and experiments showed the way theorecical researches should proceed.

Takashi Takiguchi is a researcher in both inverse problems and microlocal analysis, working at National Defense Academy of Japan.
He received his Ph.D. in Mathematical Sciences from the University of Tokyo. For the last decade, he engaged in the researches in practical inverse problems based on industry-academia and interdisciplinary collaborations. He organized an international workshop on practical inverse prblems about once a year and contributed to the promotion of industry-academia and interdisciplinary collaborations.
