A constructive approach to range characterization of spherical mean transform in odd dimensions
Abstract
This work focuses on range characterization of spherical mean transform (SMT) in odd-dimension Euclidean space. In a recent work, a simpler description characterizing the range of SMT in odd dimensions was derived. This involved symmetry relations involving certain linear ordinary differential operators acting on the coefficients of the spherical harmonics expansion of the function in the range. The sufficiency part of this characterization was shown using an existing range characterization result due to Agranovsky-Kuchment-Quinto. In the current work, we provide a direct and constructive proof showing the sufficiency of the aforementioned symmetry conditions and we obtain this without invoking any of the existing range characterization results. As an added advantage, given a function g satisfying the range conditions, our approach provides an explicit construction of a function f such that the SMT of f is g.
