Integral Modelling of Propagation of Incident Waves in a Laterally Varying Medium : an Exploration in the Frequency Domain

ABSTRACT: In this work we present a formalism that intends to solve the problem of modeling wave propagation in the context of seismic inversion. The formalism is based on the linear perturbation theory of Cauchy’s equations. Based on the foregoing, we derived an equivalent Helmholtz equation for th...
