Inverse Problems in Differential Equations is a 1990 mathematical monograph by Gottfried Anger, published by Plenum Press / Kluwer Academic.
Overview
The book elucidates the fundamental mathematical structures of inverse problems — problems in which one seeks the coefficients or source terms of a differential equation from information about its solutions, rather than the other way round. Anger analyses both the "information content" of such problems and the construction of solutions in cases where that information content is limited, treating questions of existence, uniqueness, and stability (ill-posedness). It is written to be accessible to engineers and physicists as well as mathematicians, and is a frequently cited reference in the inverse-problems literature.
