Advances in learning-based methods are revolutionizing several fields in applied mathematics, including inverse problems, resulting in a major paradigm shift towards data-driven approaches. This volume, which is inspired by this cutting-edge area of research, brings together contributors from the inverse problem community and shows how to successfully combine model- and data-driven approaches to gain insight into practical and theoretical issues.

Modeling and Inverse Problems in the Presence of Uncertainty collects recent research-including the authors' own substantial projects-on uncertainty propagation and quantification. It covers two sources of uncertainty: where uncertainty is present primarily due to measurement errors and where uncertainty is present due to the modeling formulation i

Inverse problems are found in many applications, such as medical imaging, engineering, astronomy, and geophysics, among others. To solve an inverse problem is to recover an object from noisy, usually indirect observations. Solutions to inverse problems are subject to many potential sources of error introduced by approximate mathematical models, regularization methods, numerical approximations for efficient computations, noisy data, and limitations in the number of observations; thus it is important to include an assessment of the uncertainties as part of the solution. Such assessment is interdisciplinary by nature, as it requires, in addition to knowledge of the particular application, methods from applied mathematics, probability, and statistics. This book bridges applied mathematics and statistics by providing a basic introduction to probability and statistics for uncertainty quantification in the context of inverse problems, as well as an introduction to statistical regularization of inverse problems. The author covers basic statistical inference, introduces the framework of ill-posed inverse problems, and explains statistical questions that arise in their applications. An Introduction to Data Analysis and Uncertainty Quantification for Inverse Problems?includes many examples that explain techniques which are useful to address general problems arising in uncertainty quantification, Bayesian and non-Bayesian statistical methods and discussions of their complementary roles, and analysis of a real data set to illustrate the methodology covered throughout the book.

While the prediction of observations is a forward problem, the use of actual observations to infer the properties of a model is an inverse problem. Inverse problems are difficult because they may not have a unique solution. The description of uncertainties plays a central role in the theory, which is based on probability theory. This book proposes a general approach that is valid for linear as well as for nonlinear problems. The philosophy is essentially probabilistic and allows the reader to understand the basic difficulties appearing in the resolution of inverse problems. The book attempts to explain how a method of acquisition of information can be applied to actual real-world problems, and many of the arguments are heuristic.

This new edition updated the material by expanding coverage of certain topics, adding new examples and problems, removing outdated material, and adding a computer disk, which will be included with each book. Professor Jaluria and Torrance have structured a text addressing both finite difference and finite element methods, comparing a number of applicable methods.

Provides a basic understanding of both the underlying mathematics and the computational methods used to solve inverse problems.

Combining scientific computing methods and algorithms with modern data analysis techniques, including basic applications of compressive sensing and machine learning, this book develops techniques that allow for the integration of the dynamics of complex systems and big data. MATLAB is used throughout for mathematical solution strategies.

Cancer is a complex adaptive dynamic system that causes both local and systemic failures in the patient. Cancer is caused by a number of gain-of-function and loss-of-function events, that lead to cells proliferating without control by the host organism over time. In cancer, the immune system modulates cancer cell population heterogeneity and plays a crucial role in disease outcomes. The immune system itself also generates multiple clones of different cell types, with some clones proliferating quickly and maturing into effector cells. By creating regulatory signals and their networks, and generating effector cells and molecules, the immune system recognizes and kills abnormal cells. Anti-cancer immune mechanisms are realized as multi-layer, nonlinear cellular and molecular interactions. A number of factors determine the outcome of immune system-tumor interactions, including cancer-associated antigens, immune cells, and host organisms.
