Abstract

Overview In this talk we describe the composition calculus of Fourier Integral Operators (FIOs) with fold and cusp singularities. Such operators appear in many inverse scattering problems, where the composition calculus can be used as a tool for recovering images. In these problems, caustics occur and create artifacts which make the reconstruction more complicated and challenging. The goal is to understand these artifacts, find their strength and try to remove them.
