Inexact Augmented Lagrangian Method-Based Full-waveform Inversion with Randomized Singular Value Decomposition
Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) is a modeling algorithm used for seismic data
processing and subsurface structure inversion. Theoretically, the main
advantage of FWI is its ability to obtain useful subsurface structure
information, such as velocity and density, from complex seismic data through
inversion simulation. However, under complex conditions, FWI is difficult to
achieve high-resolution imaging results, and most of the cases are due to
random noise, initial model, or inversion parameters and so on. Therefore, we
consider an effective image processing and dimension reduction tool, randomized
singular value decomposition (rSVD) - weighted truncated nuclear norm
regularization (WTNNR), for embedding FWI to achieve high-resolution imaging
results. This algorithm obtains a truncated matrix approximating the original
matrix by reducing the rank of the velocity increment matrix, thus achieving
the truncation of noisy data, with the truncation range controlled by WTNNR.
Subsequently, we employ an inexact augmented Lagrangian method (iALM) algorithm
in the optimization to compress the solution space range, thus relaxing the
dependence of FWI and rSVD-WTNNR on the initial model and accelerating the
convergence rate of the objective function. We tested on two sets of synthetic
data, and the results show that compared with traditional FWI, our method can
more effectively suppress the impact of random noise, thus obtaining higher
resolution and more accurate subsurface model information. Meanwhile, due to
the introduction of iALM, our method also significantly improves the
convergence rate. This work indicates that the combination of rSVD-WTNNR and
FWI is an effective imaging strategy which can help to solve the challenges
faced by traditional FWI.Comment: 55 Pages, 21 Figure
An all-at-once approach to full wavefrom seismic inversion in the viscoelastic regime
Full waveform seismic inversion (FWI) in the viscoelastic regime entails the task of identifying parameters in the viscoelastic wave equation from partial waveform measurements. Traditionally, one frames this nonlinear problem as an operator equation for the parameter-to-state map. Alternatively, in an all-at-once approach one augments the nonlinear operator by the viscoelastic wave equation as an additional component and considers the states as additional variables. Hence, parameters and states are sought-for simultaneously. In this article, we give a mathematically rigorous all-at-once version of FWI in a functional analytical formulation. Further, the corresponding nonlinear map is shown to be Fréchet differentiable and the adjoint operator of the Fréchet derivative is given in an explicit way suitable for implementation in a Newton-type/gradient-based regularization scheme
Improved full-waveform inversion for seismic data in the presence of noise based on the K-support norm
Full-waveform inversion (FWI) is known as a seismic data processing method
that achieves high-resolution imaging. In the inversion part of the method that
brings high resolution in finding a convergence point in the model space, a
local numerical optimization algorithm minimizes the objective function based
on the norm using the least-square form. Since the norm is sensitive to
outliers and noise, the method may often lead to inaccurate imaging results.
Thus, a new regulation form with a more practical relaxation form is proposed
to solve the overfitting drawback caused by the use of the norm,, namely the
K-support norm, which has the form of more reasonable and tighter constraints.
In contrast to the least-square method that minimizes the norm, our K-support
constraints combine the and the norms. Then, a quadratic penalty method is
adopted to linearize the non-linear problem to lighten the computational load.
This paper introduces the concept of the K-support norm and integrates this
scheme with the quadratic penalty problem to improve the convergence and
robustness against background noise. In the numerical example, two synthetic
models are tested to clarify the effectiveness of the K-support norm by
comparison to the conventional norm with noisy data set. Experimental results
indicate that the modified FWI based on the new regularization form effectively
improves inversion accuracy and stability, which significantly enhances the
lateral resolution of depth inversion even with data with a low signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR).Comment: 54 pages, 21 figure

Towards ultrasound travel time tomography for quantifying human limb geometry and material properties
Sound speed inversions made using simulated time of flight data from a numerical limb-mimicking phantom comprised of soft tissue and a bone inclusion demonstrate that wave front tracking forward modeling combined with 1 regularization could lead to accurate estimates of bone sound-speed. Ultrasonic tomographic imaging of limbs has the potential to impact prosthetic socket fitting, as well as detect and track muscular dystrophy diseases, osteoporosis and bone fractures at low cost and without radiation exposure. Research in ultrasound tomography of bones has increased in the last 10 years, however, methods delivering clinically useful sound-speed inversions are lacking. Inversions for the sound-speed of the numerical phantoms using 1 and 2 regularizations are compared using wave front forward models. The simulations are based on a custom-made cylindrically-scanning tomographic medical ultrasound system (0.5 – 5 MHz) consisting of two acoustic transducers capable of collecting pulse echo and travel time measurements over the entire 360° aperture.

Seismic Waves
The importance of seismic wave research lies not only in our ability to understand and predict earthquakes and tsunamis, it also reveals information on the Earth's composition and features in much the same way as it led to the discovery of Mohorovicic's discontinuity. As our theoretical understanding of the physics behind seismic waves has grown, physical and numerical modeling have greatly advanced and now augment applied seismology for better prediction and engineering practices. This has led to some novel applications such as using artificially-induced shocks for exploration of the Earth's subsurface and seismic stimulation for increasing the productivity of oil wells. This book demonstrates the latest techniques and advances in seismic wave analysis from theoretical approach, data acquisition and interpretation, to analyses and numerical simulations, as well as research applications. A review process was conducted in cooperation with sincere support by Drs. Hiroshi Takenaka, Yoshio Murai, Jun Matsushima, and Genti Toyokuni

Data-scalable Hessian preconditioning for distributed parameter PDE-constrained inverse problems
Hessian preconditioners are the key to efficient numerical solution of large-scale distributed parameter PDE-constrained inverse problems with highly informative data. Such inverse problems arise in many applications, yet solving them remains computationally costly. With existing methods, the computational cost depends on spectral properties of the Hessian which worsen as more informative data are used to reconstruct the unknown parameter field. The best case scenario from a scientific standpoint (lots of high-quality data) is therefore the worst case scenario from a computational standpoint (large computational cost).
In this dissertation, we argue that the best way to overcome this predicament is to build data-scalable Hessian/KKT preconditioners---preconditioners that perform well even if the data are highly informative about the parameter. We present a novel data-scalable KKT preconditioner for a diffusion inverse problem, a novel data-scalable Hessian preconditioner for an advection inverse problem, and a novel data-scalable domain decomposition preconditioner for an auxiliary operator that arises in connection with KKT preconditioning for a wave inverse problem. Our novel preconditioners outperform existing preconditioners in all three cases: they are robust to large numbers of observations in the diffusion inverse problem, large Peclet numbers in the advection inverse problem, and high wave frequencies in the wave inverse problem.Computational Science, Engineering, and Mathematic
