Abstract
The source localization principle is an inequality between the means o f scalar fields produced by different sources in any linear shift-inva riant system, This principle is presented here as a pair of conditions (spatial and temporal) under which a point source produces a greater mean field over finite source-centered regions than all other sources, Biomedical applications involving point optical sources and radioacti ve sources are discussed.
