Abstract

A new analytical algorithm for the gradient of residual functionals is applied to numerical inversion of seismic data from horizontally layered media. The algorithm works for any linear differential equation and second-order system where the coefficients are piecewise constant functions. It is advantageous due to its plain logic and easily programmable formalism.
