Application of a Constrained Optimization Technique to the Imaging of Heterogeneous Objects Using Diffusion Theory

The problem of inferring or reconstructing the material properties (cross sections) of a domain through noninvasive techniques, methods using only input and output at the domain boundary, is attempted using the governing laws of neutron diffusion theory as an optimization constraint. A standard Lagr...
