Math and Stats Colloquium: Introduction to inverse problems with examples and research applications
Friday, Mar. 29, 2024, 4–5 p.m.
Mario Bencomo — CSU, Fresno Title: Introduction to inverse problems with examples and research applications Abstract: Inverse problems are a classification of mathematical problems in engineering and science that involve estimating model parameters/inputs relative to a "forward/direct" problem. In this talk I will present several examples of inverse problems to elucidate the definition and highlight typical mathematical challenges. I will also discuss an application in the field of exploration seismology where such inverse problems require mathematical tools from numerical optimization and differential equations.
