V-Line Tensor Tomography in a Disk: Theoretical and Numerical Reconstruction

In this article, we investigate V-line transforms for symmetric $m$-tensor fields whose support lies inside a disk of radius $R$ and centered at the origin.

We provide an explicit characterization of the kernel of the V-line transforms acting on a symmetric $m$-tensor field and derive a new inversion formula using a decomposition result.

In addition, we present a comprehensive numerical verification and validation of the inversion algorithms for these V-line transforms for vector fields and symmetric $2$-tensor fields, which were recently developed in \cite{bhardwaj_2024,bhardwaj2025tensor}.

The reconstruction results obtained for various phantoms demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed numerical methods, including in the presence of noise.
