In this paper a compact Riemannian manifold with strictly convex boundary is reconstructed from its partial travel time data. This data assumes that an open measurement region on the boundary is given, and that for every point in the manifold, the respective distance function to the points on the measurement region is known. This geometric inverse problem has many connections to seismology, in particular to microseismicity. The reconstruction is based on embedding the manifold in a function space. This requires the differentiation of the distance functions. Therefore this paper also studies some global regularity properties of the distance function on a compact Riemannian manifold with strictly convex boundary.

Sturm showed that the intrinsic Fréchet mean exists and is unique in treespace. This Fréchet mean can be approximated with an iterative algorithm, but bounds on the convergence of the algorithm are not known, and there is no other known polynomial algorithm for computing the Fréchet mean nor even the edges present in the mean. We give the first necessary and sufficient conditions for an edge to be in the Fréchet mean. The conditions are in the form of inequalities on the weights of the edges. These conditions provide a pre-processing step for finding the treespace orthant containing the Fréchet mean. This work generalizes to orthant spaces.}, journal={ADVANCES IN APPLIED MATHEMATICS}, author={Anaya, Maria and Anipchenko-Ulaj, Olga and Ashfaq, Aisha and Chiu, Joyce and Kaiser, Mahedi and Ohsawa, Max Shoji and Owen, Megan and Pavlechko, Ella and St John, Katherine and Suleria, Shivam and et al.}, year={2020}, month={Sep} }
