Reconstruction for multiwave imaging in attenuating media with large damping coefficient

Abstract

In this article we study the reconstruction problem in TAT/PAT on an attenuating media. Namely, we prove a reconstruction procedure of the initial condition for the damped wave equation via Neumann series that works for arbitrary large smooth attenuation coefficients extending the result of Homan in [1]. We also illustrate the theoretical result by including some numerical experiments at the end of the paper.
