List <strong>of</strong> Principal Symbols<br />

The notation <strong>of</strong> this thesis is as follows: matrices are boldface upper-case letters, column<br />

vectors are boldface lowercase letters. The n × n identity matrix is In. The (i,j) th entry<br />

<strong>of</strong> A is Aij, similarly the i th entry <strong>of</strong> a vector x is xi. Continuum operators are upper-case<br />

letters while continuum variables are lowercase letters.<br />

General Variables<br />

• ℓ is the electrode number<br />

• Ω represents the medium under analysis<br />

• Γ represents the boundary <strong>of</strong> the medium under analysis<br />

• N number <strong>of</strong> Nodes in a FEM<br />

• E number <strong>of</strong> elements in a FEM<br />

• L number <strong>of</strong> electrodes in a FEM<br />

• M number <strong>of</strong> measurements in a frame <strong>of</strong> data<br />

• φ linear interpolation function<br />

• n is noise<br />

• �·� p is the p norm, where p is usually 2.<br />

Continuum Variables<br />

• u is the potential<br />

• u(ˆx) is the spatial potential<br />

• F is the <strong>for</strong>ward operator<br />

• σ is the conductance or in a few places the standard deviation<br />

• I is the current<br />

• ˆn normal<br />
