Geophysical data analysis: discrete inverse theory / William Menke.
Title: | Geophysical data analysis: discrete inverse theory / William Menke. |
Author(s): | Menke, William. |
Date: | 2012. |
Publisher: | London: Academic Press |
Abstract: | Describes discrete inverse theory, method used to extract useful inferences from data sets of physical measurements that are either truly discrete or can be approximated as such. Explains what inverse problems are and what constitutes their solution; discusses solution of canonical inverse problem, i.e. linear problem with Gaussian statistics, permitting development of notions of uncertainty, uniqueness and resolution; extends discussion to problems that are non-Gaussian, non-linear, and continuous; provides examples of use of inverse theory and discusses solution of inverse problems on computer. Uses Matlab scripts throughout. Includes case studies and homework problems. Suitable for graduate students. |
