This paper studies the regularization of constrained Maximum Likelihood iterative algorithms applied to incompatible ill-posed linear inverse problems. Specifically we introduce a novel stopping rule which defines a regularization algorithm for the Iterative Space Reconstruction Algorithm in the case of Least-Squares minimization. Further we...

This paper introduces a novel compartmental model describing the excretion of 18F-fluoro-deoxyglucose (FDG) in the renal system and a numerical method based on the maximum likelihood for its reduction. This approach accounts for variations in FDG concentration due to water re-absorption in renal tubules and the increase of the bladder's volume...

The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly in the Solar Dynamics Observatory provides full Sun images every 12 seconds in each of 7 Extreme Ultraviolet passbands. However, for a significant amount of these images, saturation affects their most intense core, preventing scientists from a full exploitation of their physical meaning. In this paper we...
