Abstract

A numerical solution is proposed for the problem of reconstructing a potential vector field in the unit ball from the values of the normal Radon transform. The algorithm is based on the method of truncated singular value decomposition. Numerical simulations confirm that the method gives rather good results on reconstructing potential vector fields.
