Abstract

The truncated Hilbert transform with overlap H-T is an operator that arises in tomographic reconstruction from limited data, more precisely in the method of differentiated back-projection. Recent work [R. Al-Aifari and A. Katsevich, SIAM J. Math. Anal., 46 (2014), pp. 192213] has shown that the singular values of this operator accumulate at both zero and one. To better understand the properties of the operator and, in particular, the ill-posedness of the inverse problem associated with it, it is of interest to know the rates at which the singular values approach zero and one. In this paper, we exploit the property that H-T commutes with a second-order differential operator L-S and the global asymptotic behavior of its eigenfunctions to find the asymptotics of the singular values and singular functions of H-T.
