Inversion of the Weighted Spherical Mean

Abstract

The paper contains the inversion formula for the weighted spherical mean. The interest to reconstruction a function by its integral by sphere grews tremendously in the last six decades, stimulated by the spectrum of new problems and methods of image reconstruction. We consider a generalization of the classical spherical mean and its inverse in the case when generalized translation acts to function instead of regular. As a particular case this problem includes action of spherical means on radially symmetric functions.
