Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Inverse Problems focuses on the mathematical and computational aspects of determining unknown parameters or properties from indirect measurements. This includes developing and analyzing methods for solving inverse problems governed by partial differential equations, such as elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic equations, as well as problems related to linear regression, image reconstruction, and signal processing. The journal also covers theoretical aspects like well-posedness, stability estimates, and convergence analysis of numerical algorithms, often employing techniques from optimization, machine learning, and variational methods.
