Nonlocal second-order geometric equations arising in tomographic reconstruction Original Research Article

In this paper, we study new nonlocal geometric equations which are related to tomographic reconstruction when using the level-set approach. We treat two additional difficulties which make the work original. On one hand, the level lines do not evolve along normal directions and the nonlocal term is not of “convolution type”. On the other hand, the speed is not necessarily bounded compared to the nonlocal term. We prove an existence and uniqueness result for our equation.
