Functional Analysis and Its Applications Aims and scope

Abstract

In the two-dimensional case, the generalized Radon transform takes each function supported in a disk to the values of the integrals of that function over a family of curves. We assume that the curves differ only slightly from straight lines and the network formed by these curves has the same topological structure as the network of straight lines. Thus, the generalized Radon transform specifies a function on the set of straight lines. Under these conditions, we obtain a solution of the inversion problem for the generalized Radon transform and indicate a Cavalieri condition describing the range of this transform in the space of functions on the set of straight lines.
