6 Extended full waveform inversion (EFWI) Abstract setting for Inversion: m = F 1 [d] This inverse problem is large scale and nonlinear. Indirect approach: formulate as an optimization problem Given d, find m that minimizes the output least square (OLS) objective function (Tarantola, Lailly, 1980s to present) min m J OLS [m, d] = 1 F [m] d 2 2 min v, r,w J[v, r, w, d] = 1 2 f[v] r w d 2 + α2 2 A r 2 Lei Fu (TRIP) Source estimation in EFWI May 6,

7 Source function w(t) in EFWI J = 1 2 f[v] r w d 2 + α2 2 A r 2 Following [Rickett, 2013] s approach, write in two matrix forms J = 1 2 F g [v, r]w d 2 + α2 2 A r 2 (1) J = 1 2 W f[v] r d 2 + α2 2 A r 2 (2) F g [v, r]: matrix that applies convolutions to w W : matrix that applies convolution to f[v] r Lei Fu (TRIP) Source estimation in EFWI May 6,

9 Variable Projection Method (VPM) [Golub and Pereyra, 1973] min v, r,w J OLS [v, r, w, d] = 1 2 F g [v, r]w d 2 + α2 2 A r 2 VPM Step 1: eliminate the linear variable (w) Step 2: minimize the reduced objective function (v, r) Step 3: use the optimal value (v, r) to solve for w The constrained equation [Rickett, 2013] Reduced objective function w = F + g d = ( F g Fg ) 1 F g d min v, r J OLS [v, r, d] = 1 2 F g F + g d d 2 + α2 2 A r 2 F + g [v, r]: the pseudo-inverse of F g [v, r]. F g F g : dimensions of N w N w, inverted easily with direct methods. Lei Fu (TRIP) Source estimation in EFWI May 6,
