Abstract:

Some solutions to inverse problems in radiative transfer, such that the estimation of optical properties of a medium, or the presence of a spatially distributed source, are briefly commented. Particularly, some elementary computations are reported to suggest that a certain type of inverse boundary-condition problem in radiative transfer can, in some cases, be solved simply.
