Abstract:
In 1986 Y. Nievergelt suggested a simple formula which allows to reconstruct a continuous compactly supported function on the 2-plane from its Radon transform. This formula falls into the scope of the classical convolution-backprojection method. We show that elementary tools of fractional calculus can be used to obtain more general inversion formulas for the k-plane Radon transform of continuous and L^p functions on R^n for all 1 ≤ k < n. Further generalizations and open problems are discussed.
