Use $x$ for points in $\mathbb{R}^3$, then \begin{equation} \Omega = \Big\{ x \in \bigcup_{i=1}^{K} C_i \Big\} \end{equation}
probably better to write \begin{equation} \Omega = \bigcup_{C \in \cal{C}} C \end{equation} where \begin{equation} \cal{C} = \Big\{ L_{j} …\Big\} \end{equation}
Consider a simple situation like
$x_1$ | $x_2$ |
$x_3$ | $x_4$ |
and now two slants, given by
\begin{eqnarray}
s_1 & = & x_1 + x_4
s_2 & = & x_2 + x_4
\end{eqnarray}
leading to a matrix equation
\begin{equation}
\left( \begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 0 & 0 & 1
0 & 1 & 0 & 1
\end{array} \right) \circ
\left( \begin{array}{c}
x_1
x_2
x_3
x_4
\end{array} \right)
= \left( \begin{array}{c}
s_1
s_2
\end{array} \right)
\end{equation}
We might include some weighting function for taking care of the lenght of
the path of the ray through the area denoted by $x_j$, $j=1,…,4$, then we obtain
a weighted system of the form
\begin{eqnarray}
s_1 & = & w_{1,1} x_1 + w_{1,4} x_4
s_2 & = & w_{2,2} x_2 + w_{2,4} x_4
\end{eqnarray}
A ray starting at $b \in \mathbb{R}^3$ with direction $\nu \in \mathbb{R}^3$ is given by \begin{equation} L = \{ x = b + \eta \cdot \nu| \; \eta > 0 \}. \end{equation} An integral along $L$ is written as \begin{equation} f(b,\nu) := \int_{L} \varphi(y) ds(y), \end{equation} where $ds(y)$ denotes the standard Eucliedean measure along $L$. Alternatively, when $||\nu|| = 1$, you might write \begin{equation} f(b,\nu) = \int_{0}^{\infty} \varphi(b + \eta \nu) d\eta \end{equation} We use the notation \begin{equation} (R\varphi)(b,\nu) := f(b,\nu), \;\; b \in \mathcal{B}, \; \nu \in \mathcal{N} \end{equation} where $\mathcal{B}$ and $\mathcal{N}$ denote the set of our base stations and the set of slant directions measured by the stations over some time interval. In discretized form, the operator $R$ maps $\vec{\varphi} \in \R^n$ into $\vec{f} \in \R^m$. It is a linear operator and, thus, we obtain a matrix operator from $\R^n$ into $\R^m$. Thus, GPS tomography boiles down to solving a linear finite dimensional system \begin{equation} R \vec{\varphi} = \vec{f} \end{equation}

We first select a subsequence of $\mathbb{N}$ such that a point in the support $\chi_i$ of $v_{k_{i}}$ has limiting point $x_{\ast} \in \Omega$. This is possible since any bounded sequence in $\mathbb{R}$ has a convergent subsequence. We call it $k_{i}$ again.
Given $\epsilon>0$ there is $i>0$ such that $$
v_{k_{i}} - v_{\ast} |
$$ So we know that on the exterior of the support $\Omega_{k_{i}}$ of $v_{k_{i}}$ we have $$
v_{\ast} | _{L |
$$ For a function $v_{\ast} \in L^2(\Omega)$ we have that \begin{eqnarray}
\int_{\Omega_{k_{i}}} | v_{\ast}(y) | 2 dy |
---|
\end{eqnarray} Now, we obtain \begin{eqnarray}
v_{\ast} | _{L | 2(\Omega)} | {2} & = & | v_{\ast} | _{L | 2(\Omega \setminus \Omega_{k_{i}})} |
---|
+ ||v_{\ast}||_{L^2(\Omega_{k_{i}})}^2
\nonumber
& \rightarrow & 0, \;\; i \rightarrow \infty.

Simple question: is $\frac{1}{x-y}$ analytic in $x$ for fixed $y$?
Answer 1) Yes, since the sum and product of analytic functions are analytic, and the quotient of analytic functions are analytic where the denominator is non-zero.
Answer 2) We use the series expansion $$ \frac{1}{x-y} = (-1) \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{x^n}{y^{n+1}} $$ for $|x|<|y|$, which I took from Wolfram. For $|x|<\rho \cdot |y|$ with $\rho<1$ we have $$
\frac{x | n}{y | {n+1}} | < \frac{1}{y} \rho |
---|
$$ such that $$
\sum_{n=1} | {\infty} \frac{x | n}{y | {n+1}} | < \frac{1}{ | y | } \sum_{n=1} | {\infty} \rho |
---|
$$ is absolutely convergent by the geometric series. Thus, $\frac{1}{x-y}$ is analytic on $|x|<|y|$. For $|x|>|y|$ we use $$ \frac{1}{x-y} = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{y^n}{x^{n+1}} $$ analogously.
little statement
Let $g$ be a function in $L^2(\Omega)$ and let $\Omega_i$ be subsets of $\Omega$ with $|\Omega_i| \rightarrow 0$ for $i \rightarrow \infty$. Then we have \begin{equation} \label{eq1} \int_{\Omega_i} |g|^2 dy \rightarrow 0, \;\; i \rightarrow \infty. \end{equation}
Proof. Given $\epsilon$ there is a bounded function $f \in C^{\infty}(\Omega)$ such that \begin{equation} \label{eq2}
g -f | _{L | 2(\Omega)} |
---|
\end{equation}
Further, for a function $f \in C^{\infty}(\Omega)$ given $\epsilon$
we find $i_0>0$ such that
\begin{equation}
\label{eq3}
\int_{\Omega_{i}} |f(y)|^2 dy \leq \frac{\epsilon}{4}
\end{equation}
for all $i\geq i_0$. Now, given $\epsilon$ we first choose $f \in C^{\infty}$ such that
(\ref{eq2}) is satisfied. Then, we choose $i_0$ such that (\ref{eq3}) is true. This
yields
\begin{eqnarray}
\int_{\Omega_i} |g|^2 dy & = & \int_{\Omega_i} |g-f + f|^2 dy
& \leq & 2 (\int_{\Omega_i} |g-f|^2 dy + \int_{\Omega_i} |f|^2 dy )
& \leq & 2(\frac{\epsilon}{4} + \frac{\epsilon}{4}) = \epsilon
\end{eqnarray}
for $i \geq i_0$.

another statement
$A: X \rightarrow Y$ compact, $\varphi_n$ bounded sequence in $X$, then $\psi_n := A\varphi_n$ has a convergent subsequence, which we relable to use index $n$ again.
$\psi_n \rightarrow \psi_{\ast} \in Y$. If $\psi_{\ast} \in R(A)$, then there exists $\varphi_{\ast} \in X$ such that $A \varphi_{\ast} = \psi_{\ast}$. Defining $\tilde{\varphi}_{n}:= \varphi_n - \varphi_{\ast}$ we obtain a sequence such that $$ A \tilde{\varphi}_{n} \rightarrow 0, \;\; n \rightarrow \infty. $$
