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 />
