Aspects of phase problems for two-dimensional periodic images that occ
ur in crystallography are examined. It is shown that such problems do
not have unique solutions in general, but are underdetermined. The pre
sence of a priori information constrains the solution, and an error me
tric is described that quantifies this effect. Explicit forms for the
error metric are derived that describe the effects of a restricted sup
port and symmetry in the image, and examples are presented.
